Two-spined Blackfish

Gadopsis bispinosus Sanger, 1984

First described in: Sanger, A. (1984). Description of a new species of Gadopsis (Pisces: Gadopsidae) from Victoria. <em>Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria.</em> 96 (2): 93-97.

The two-spined blackfish (Gadopsis bispinosus) is a species of temperate perch endemic to Australia.

It is found in the cool, clear, strong-flowing, cobble bottomed, sub-alpine rivers and streams (ranging from small to large) in the southeast corner of the Murray-Darling river system. Their range encompasses northeast Victoria, southeast New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Originally two-spined blackfish co-inhabited many of these waters with Macquarie perch and trout cod.
