Kabeljou
Namibia
Introduction: Kabeljou (Argyrosomus holoepidotus) have thick scales on the body. They are also known as kob, daga or drum. Common in shallow, coastal areas, especially along sandy edges of estuaries and reefs. Food is hunted by smell and lateral line senses rather than sight. Argyrosomus means 'silver-bodied' and holoepidotus 'smooth-scaled'.
Distribution: Kunene River mouth south along the Skeleton Coast to Cape Cross, Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, Sandwich Harbour, Luderitz and the Orange River mouth.
Diet: Small fish and crustaceans such as crabs, prawns, squid and cuttlefish.
Colouration: Silvery overall body with a pearly-pink sheen on the head, flanks and dorsal surfaces. When viewed underwater a row of silver 'portholes' can be admired on the lateral line. The fins are a dusky colour.
Breeding: Juveniles are saline tolerant and estuaries are used as nursery areas.
Max size: 200cm. Max weight: 73kg.
