Adults are silver to brown with black vertical stripes along
their bodies and two dorsal fins, the first of which carries
a poisonous spine. Juveniles prefer the shelter of estuaries
while adults are associated with seagrasses, rocky reefs and
jetties where they swim in large schools, in pairs or alone.
It is said that the Old Wife gets its name from the sound it
makes when stressed. It is found around southern Australia and
up into tropical waters.
