'''''Arripis''''' is a genus of marine [[ray-finned fish]]es from [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], known as '''Australian salmon''', '''kahawai''' and '''Australian herring'''. They are the only members of the [[family (biology)|family]] '''Arripidae'''. Despite the [[common name]], Australian salmon are not related to the [[salmon]] family [[Salmonidae]] of the [[Northern Hemisphere]], just as Australian herring are not related to [[herring]] of the Northern Hemisphere, but belong to the order [[Scombriformes]] of [[mackerel]]-like fishes. Australian salmon were named so by early [[Europe]]an settlers after their superficial resemblance to salmonids.

Relatively long-lived fish, Australian salmon are a favoured target of recreational fishers, and both commercial and traditional [[Māori people|Māori]] [[fishery|fisheries]]. They are also common [[bycatch]] of the [[Australasian snapper]] (''Pagrus auratus''), [[mullet (fish)|mullet]] (Mugilidae), [[white trevally]] (''Pseudocaranx dentex''), and mackerel ([[Scombridae]]) fisheries. These species are all taken in great numbers by way of [[purse seine]] nets and [[trawl]]ing. They are also caught by skilled fishermen along the southern coastline of Australia by beach seining.
