Major Groups of Australian Fish and Amphibians

Here is a nearly complete list of all Australian animals:  OzAnimals

The links take you to summary articles on Fishes of Australia that serve as a great introduction to each species or group.   Fish can be “complicated” when it comes to whether they prefer freshwater, saltwater, brackish, or either.  Some fish (diadromous) migrate between salt and freshwater habitats during their lifecycle.   Many  fish  that spend most of their time in shallow lagoons or intertidal areas, are adapted to a range of salinities.
