The Australian Mado has a silver body with dark brown to black stripes, and yellow fins. It has large eyes, a small mouth and a forked tail. This species grows to 25cm in length. It is found on coastal and estuarine reefs and is one of the most common species in New South Wales.
The Australian Mado is recorded from southern Queensland to eastern Tasmania. View a map of the collecting localities of specimens in the Australian Museum Fish Collection.
The Australian Mado looks very similar to the New Zealand Mado (view fact sheet) but differs in colouration and fin ray counts.
