The Western Australian Dhufish (Glaucosoma hebraicum) is a prized demersal species endemic to Australia's coastal waters, primarily found along Western Australia. Recognisable by its robust body, silvery-grey colouring, and distinct stripes, it thrives in rocky reefs and sandy bottoms at depths of 20 to 200 meters. This species is highly sought after by recreational and commercial fishers for its firm, white flesh. The Dhufish is a slow-growing, long-lived species, contributing to its vulnerability and the need for strict fishing regulations​.
