Description: A wild Golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) about to be released. Caught in an upland river on a lure equipped with barbless hooks. Note the much leaner, slimmer shape of wild specimens compared to stocked impoundment specimens, and intense golden colouration. Infestations of individual Lernaea, an introduced parasite, can be seen in the form of red spots at the start of the spiny dorsal fin, and the end of the soft dorsal fin.Codman (talk) 10:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
