Description

A single carangid specimen (MUFS 12564, 204 mm standard length and 225 mm fork length), collected by a small set net within ca. 10 m depth at Meitsu, Nango, Miyazaki, Kyushu Island, Japan (131°23.5'E, 31°31.9'N), was identified as Trachinotus mookalee Cuvier in Cuvier & Valenciennes, on the basis of its short second dorsal fin lobe (24.0% of fork length) and anal fin coloring (lobe anteriorly yellow-golden, with weak melanophores). The specimen repre-sents the northernmost record of the species and first record from Japan. Observa-tions (at Nagasaki and Kanagawa Prefectures, Japan) of larger examples (ca. 60-90 cm in total length) of the species suggested a wide distribution around southern Japan, except the Ryukyu Islands. The specimen is described and a new Japanese name “kogane-marukoban” proposed for the species.
