Oh that's not even that isolated in Australia. There's a fish caught off their shores that had a whole big marketing push in the 90s and 00s to rebranded it from its common name. Slimehead. Thankfully I think they abandoned commercial marketing of it. They would have fished it out in record time. Seeing as the fish can take north of a decade to mature and reach spawning age.
