A genus of marine fish, commonly known as blackfish or drummer fish, found in temperate ocean waters.
From the scientific Latin name Girella, likely derived from Italian girello (a type of fish) or possibly from giro (circle), referencing the fish's body shape.
Girella fish were so important to coastal Indigenous Australian peoples that they feature in rock art dating back thousands of years, showing how long humans have recognized and valued specific fish species.
