[edit]

The picture does not accurately represent an Australian Salmon, it looks more like a Bonito (a small tuna sp.). It needs to be updated! Edit: Now updated! Como006 12:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe the original image to be morphologically accurate; arripids do have certain superficial similarities to scombrids. Nonetheless, I thank you for securing the use of a photograph, as they're almost always preferred over sketches. Cheers, -- Hadal 05:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hadal, whilst not argueing for the point of it, there are superficial similarities. Body shape is the most obvious. Having caught many an Australian Salmon and small scombrids ie. Australian Bonito they are quite different morphologically except as mentioned in body shape. I'm not taking the piss here, just experienced in this species!

Page name

[edit]

Shouldn't this page be called 'Arripidae'? Not all the fish in the family are Australian (or salmon). This doesn't seem to be in line with the other Family pages I've seen. Is there a reason? GrahamBould 16:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! This a major problem, i can't believe no one has addressed it. Most of the material on this page belongs to either West or East Australian Salmon, not an article on the Arripidae in general. If there are no objections i will make the changes soonish. Kare Kare (talk) 10:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also the entire page is COMPLETELY UNREFERENCED! How can an article with such a volume of information have no references? There is no way all this info came from fishbase, someone with a book or article went to town on the article and didn't cite... Kare Kare (talk) 10:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
