Wikipedia Abstract

The yellow-eye mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri) is a mullet of the family Mugilidae, the only species in the genus Aldrichetta. It is found around New Zealand, the Chatham Islands, and southern Australia. In New Zealand it is also known as the sprat or herring, but is neither a true sprat nor a true herring. They are also commonly called the sand mullet. The yellow-eye mullet is similar to the flathead mullet, but has a more pointed head and mouth and does not grow as large. Its teeth are larger and more numerous than in a flathead mullet. They have a low habitat damage rate.
