Nuisance or necessary?
The common blowfish, or ‘blowie’, is abundant in estuaries and coastal waters throughout south-west Western Australia (WA). It is often regarded as a nuisance because it gobbles bait, making it hard for fishers to catch other species of fish.
However, while the blowfish will never win a popularity contest, it has an important role in marine ecosystems. The blowie is native to WA and keeps our waterways clean by eating up waste scrap, bait and berley.
