乐生活Cortrout is a well-known grouper species. In the biological classification, it is Plectropomus, which is distributed in tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian/Pacific Ocean. In Australia, if you want to catch this fish, you have to go to Queensland, the Northern Territory or the tropics of northern Western Australia to catch them, so you live in Sydney, Melbourne. It seems impossible for people in these non-tropical cities to catch the Eastern Star Spot, especially in Melbourne, where the water temperature is only about 20 degrees in one month in summer and below 20 degrees in the rest of the time. Is it absolutely impossible for tropical fish like the Eastern Star Spot to appear here?
In fact, Melbourne may actually have star spots.
On January 28, 2015, a man named Paul Sorensen was diving under Frankston Pier, west of Port Phillip, near Melbourne, when he discovered a transverse gill perch/Plectropomus laevis, commonly known as a spotted star or emperor spotted fish, a pure tropical coral reef fish, which appeared in temperate waters far away from the coral reef. This should be the case. It’s caused by the East Australian Warm Current. The fish in the picture should freeze to death after the water temperature drops.
