The Black Spot Goatfish (Parupeneus signatus) can often be found sifting through sand and rubble with their barbels looking for food. The most distinguishing feature of this fish is the large black spot that can be found on the ‘saddle’; the location between the body and the tail. It is a warm water species preferring north Australian waters and it is also found in Papua New Guinea. It can be found on coastal reefs, in estuaries and juveniles are often found in small schools whilst adults are either found singly or in small aggregations. It grows to a maximum size of 50 cm.
