Fishing Species - Barramundi life cycle

Fishing Species

Rivers, billabongs and seas in the Northern Territory are teeming with a wide variety of fish species, most of which can be caught year round.

The barramundi is best known as one of the world’s greatest sport fish and is abundant in Northern Territory waterways, some up to 130 centimetres in length. Other popular species all have one thing in common - their size - and include black jewfish, giant trevally, golden snapper and Spanish mackerel.

Join a tour or hire a boat for the catch of a lifetime.
