Yabbies are an important dietary item for Australian native freshwater fish like Murray cod and golden perch.

Fish found in this section include Murray cod and golden perch.

It is a member of the Percichthyidae family and is closely related to the golden perch (Macquaria ambigua).

(Having said this, the primarily lowland golden perch, being highly adaptable species, still extend a significant distance into upland habitats).

It is slightly larger than the golden perch.

In fact, it is very similar in shape and appearance to a juvenile golden perch in a gold/light bronze colouration.

Generally a very good angling species, golden perch are fished for Australia-wide.

Like many Murray-Darling native fish, golden perch have crossed into eastern coastal river catchments through natural river capture events.
