Does anyone know what this fish is called? It was caught south of Cronulla in about 40m.

Looks like a Juvenile Banded Rockcod Epinephelus ergastularius.

Also know as a Seven bar Grouper.

I think so too. They also call them Bar Cod. Often targeted in 150-200m depth on the mid north coast but get much bigger.
