Juveniles barramundi cod have very obvious markings and swim in an exaggerated manner. They are thought to mimic toxic flatworms - an example of Batesian mimicry. Barramundi cod are highly esteemed as food and as a result, have become rare in most areas of SE Asia. The Lembeh Strait in N Sulawesi is famous for its unusually high marine biodiversity, particularly of unusual animals that live on the exposed sand areas.
