The Barramundi Cod is easily recognised by its concave dorsal head profile and the scattered black spots on its body and fins.
This species is often found in silty reef areas to a depth of at least 40m. Juveniles live in shallow water and are occasionally seen in rock pools at low tide.
The Barramundi Cod grows to 70cm in length. It occurs widely throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific.
In Australia it is found in tropical and subtropical waters. On the west coast adults are found as far south as Dirk Hartog Island, while on the east coast juveniles which come down with the East Australian current, are found as far south as Sydney.
