Olisthops cyanomelas, the herring cale, is a species of weed whiting endemic to Australia where it is found along the southern and south eastern coast. It inhabits the surf zone, ranging to a depth of 30 m (98 ft) in rocky areas with plentiful growth of brown algae, which it feeds on. This species grows to a length of 51 cm (20 in) SL.[2] This species is the only known member of the genus Olisthops,[3] but it has frequently been placed in Odax instead.[2]
