The Silver Perch (classified by scientists as Bidyanus bidyanus) is also known as the Murray Perch, Grunter, or Black Bream. It is mostly silver in color with yellow fin-tips.
In many places it is considered unpalatable and is mainly caught as bycatch in fisheries targeting other species, with up to five tonnes of grunters landed by New South Wales fisheries alone each year (8).
