Contributor's comments: This term was used in the Cairns region (FNQ) at least 30 years ago. Eg. before waste was collected in sullage tanks as it is now and disposed of on shore from the tourist boats, waste went directly into the ocean, hence when snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef it was suggested to watch out for the "blind mullet". I have personally witnessed several swimmers almost come to grief from this non-disriminatory predator.
