Jewfish
Jewfish is a term that has been used for a number of species of fish, including:
- Epinephelus itajara, the Goliath grouper
- Argyrosomus japonicus, was traditionally known as the mulloway jewfish in eastern Australia, but has been abbreviated to mullowat to avoid confusion with the dhufish.[1]
- Tandanus tandanus, known as the eel-tailed catfish, a fresh-water fish native to the Murray–Darling basin in eastern Australia.
- Glaucosoma hebraicum, now officially known as the West Australian dhufish, was known as jewfish in Western Australia, which led to confusion with the Mulloway.[1]
Jewfish is also the name of a place:
- Jewfish, Florida, an unincorporated community in Monroe County, Florida
- Jewfish Point, a cape in California
