The vivid coloration, large protruding teeth, short dorsal, small adipose fin and lateral stripes along the body clearly distinguish this fish from other species.
Colour. The dorsal surface of the body varies through light to dark blue changing to silver along the mid-body region to an off-white/silvery belly. The caudal fin is colourful with shades of yellow to deep red. All other fins tend to be yellow/orange near the body, the colour becoming darker and more intense towards the extremities of the fin.
Size. Can grow up to 15 kg, but this is very rare. A fish of over 10 lbs is considered a good catch.
