Juvenile Western Australian Salmon(Arripis truttacea)

Found a dozen similar dead fish on the beach as the tide went out. I only searched a few hundred metres of shoreline looking for them, there may have been more. The first three photos are of the same fish, the other two of different remains. Earlier there had been large numbers of gulls, shags, terns and other seabirds feeding 20 to 100 metres from shore, not sure whether the two events are related. Gulls were finishing off the fish remains, a couple were still in the surf. Not sure whether all the fish were the same species, but will post 3 separate observations, let me know if some should be split into more observations. AA battery for scale on first photo.

This large fish spent a lot of time swimming on its side or upside down. Its tail seemed to work but it didn't have much control. Nearby fisherman (excitedly) tried to gaff it with his line and hook.

Caught on a kontiki line set from the beach, baited with squid. Only one caught, and its stomach was empty.
