Comments: Widespread in coastal waters throughout New Zealand (Ref. 9258). The species is a major by-catch of inshore trawl fisheries. Caught throughout the year (Ref. 9258). Recorded in trawl surveys in Chatham Islands (Ref. 45493) and off the east coast of South Island (Ref. 58461). The results of the 1991-92 recreational fishing survey did not indicate red gurnard as a species of importance to recreational fishery. Voucher specimen(s) held at the NMNZ. Also Ref. 8879, 9072, 75154.

Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 9 - 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 15 - 16; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 14 - 16; Vertèbres: 33 - 35. Olive or brownish in color, becomes red when stressed; lower half of the inner part of pectoral fin with large black blotch surrounded by numerous pale spots (Ref. 9771).

Found from estuaries to edge of continental shelves over sand and sandy shell seabed (Ref. 9258). Reported to be often found in rivers (Ref. 4316). Juveniles may occur in bays (Ref. 33616). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Dorsal spine reported to be venomous (Ref. 9771). Neither anterolateral glandular grooves nor venom gland is present (Ref. 57406). Current information in the table (dangerous fish) do not match; needs verification. Excellent food fish (Ref. 9771). Utilized fresh and frozen; eaten pan-fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).
