Barramundi lives in Japan too.

Barramundi fishing in Australia is the No.1 to me.

Barramundi lives in Japan too. Shimanto river in Kochi prefecture and Oyodo river in Miyazaki prefecture are very famous for Japanese barramundi.

Japanese name: Akame

Akame means "The red eye".


Wikipedia


The Japanese lates differs from the barramundi in several features. It has a deeper body, longer third dorsal and second anal spines, fewer pectoral fin rays, more scales, and fewer gill rakers.[1] It reaches a maximum length of 130 centimetres (51 in) and a maximum weight of 33 kilograms (73 lb).[2]


Barramundi lives in my original home town too, Shibushi Bay in Kagoshima prefecture. The local name is Kawanube as barramundi.

Strictly speaking, Australian barramundi is slightly defferent from Japanese barramundi. It's very difficult to say their differences each other.
Barramundi, Nile perch and Akame are very sister fisfes.
