100 CORMORANTS AND THE GIPPSLAND LAKES FISHERY 
1. Barracouta Thyrsites atun (Euphr.). 
Snapper Pagrosomus auratus (Bloch and Sehn. ) . 
These two species are obtained some miles to sea outside 
the lakes. In these circumstances, fishing is greatly con- 
trolled by the weather for only comparatively small boats are 
used, and this probably accounts, at least in part, for the 
variation in supply.

FIG. 3. 
Snapper and Barracouta marketed annually from the Gippsland Lakes, 
1911-1937. 
The main fact in connection with this group is that neither 
species is in any way affected by conditions within the lakes 
and rivers, and are of no direct concern in any discussion 
of the lakes fishery proper. 
2. Lake Mullet Agonostomus forsteri (Guy. and Yal.). 
Salmon Trout Arripis trutta (Bloch and Schn.). 
Trevally Caranx georgianus Cuv. and Val.
