Sand mullet spend their first year of life in freshwater, then migrate to shallow ocean areas like these at Fairy Bower, Sydney. The yellow and black spots in front of the pectoral fin distinguish M. elongatus from sea mullet, Mugil cephalus
Ha! Got them! These little fish were swimming in a sandy tidal pool. They swim around in circles then pause (for a photo) then take off again. Were eating the Sea hare roe yesterday when I couldn't get a photo and today as well. About 4 inches long.

Caught by 3 kids, a bucket and some bread in the marina. Alive when caught - some were kept and sacrificed as fishing bait, and the lucky majority released.
