Notes |
The Louvar is a large, solitary, pelagic fish that roams the vast expanses of the open ocean. It can reach over 2 m in length. The species produces perhaps the highest number of eggs of all fishes - a large female was found to contain an estimated 47 million eggs. Source : Swainston’s Fishes of Australia |
