    Fun Facts:

    1. Barramundi’s native waters span from Northern Australia up to Southeast Asia and all the way west to the coastal waters of India and Sri Lanka.
    2. Barramundi spawn on the full moon, and their iridescent skin can be seen shimmering through the water during their ‘love dance’.
    3. A Barramundi’s age is determined by counting growth rings on their scales (much like counting growth rings on a tree).
