Hey guys,

I am looking for a list of brackish water fish in the areas of Europe, Australia, North America. I found some, like the sea brass and salmon, but I am looking for more.
I would appreciate your help.

By definition brackish water contains 0,05% till 3% salt. Am I wrong if I need to put 1kg of salt to 100kg (Liters) of water to get a 1% brackish water?
see you

Yep... 3% salinity... would be 3ppt.... or 3kg of salt/1000L....

The Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) of Australia is an estuarine species which probably qualifies as a 'brackish water fish'.

Is this the fish you referred to in your first post: European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)?

Thanks for your help!

@PLJ Yes that it.

yumm seabass - tasty little critters, think they grow pretty quick as well.

There is an e-book called 'Brackish Water Fishes' by Neale Monks. Worth a read. Will follow this with interest as we have an abundance of brackish water on the farm here. Somewhat limited with plants but there are options. Good luck

I was considering oysters myself...

Oysters? They are quite hard on the teeth and they don't swim :-)

Thanks for the book tip!
