User:Pelagic/Incubator/List of marine fish species in southern Australia

[format 2, bulleted, no species numbers]
Am leaning towards a table instead of list format, but placing the alternates here for comparison.

This will be a list of marine fish species found in the temperate coastal waters of southern Australia, part of the Temperate Australasia biogeographic realm. This draft contains only the sharks and rays for a start.

Species numbers, names and classification are those used in Sea fishes of Southern Australia (2nd edition) (Q98473068).

After having proofread half the OCR for this list, up to species 488, I just discovered that we already have List of marine animals of Australia (temperate waters) by PBS and Wgi (based on Evans 2008). :( However, if I go for a table here and cover just the fishes, we can show additional detail.
