I’ve heard they have also renamed the Derwent residing Flathead to “The Two-Headed Flat-crap” due to it’s highly evolved and chemically influenced body shape.

Seafood Services Australia is looking to standardise fish names across Australia saying:
Industry-wide adoption of Standard Fish Names is vital for:
* Public and consumer confidence
* Efficiency in seafood marketing
* Effective species-based fisheries management
* Sustainability of fisheries resources
* Effective food safety management
* Industry viability and profitability.
But this move, which would see products such as the “Tasmanian scallop” renamed the “commercial scallop”, is creating a feeding frenzy of concern and debate about Tasmanian business and branding that is quickly turning political.

Well i have never seen a twin head flathead and what about all the jobs those industries support? Losing them would be a tragedy for many people.

If the pulp mill goes ahead and really does produce the 1390 times greater level of dioxins than Gunns have been stating then there won’t be any problem with Tasmanian fish names.
A number of Bass Strait fish might be easily identifiable by their deformities, including the two heads.
New names won’t be a problem. In fact, they will be helpful in hiding the origin of fish from consumers with a concern for their health.
The following Mercury reports are relevant:
