Taxonomic Remarks
This species is placed in the genus EpinephelusBloch, 1793 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870) as the placement of this species is uncertain in Craig et al. (2007: Ref. 83414).
Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino asociado a arrecife; no migratorio; rango de profundidad 5 - 30 m (Ref. 5222). Tropical; 40°N - 24°N, 121°E - 142°E (Ref. 5222)
Northwest Pacific: known with certainty only from Japan, Korea, and China. Reports from other areas appear to be based on misidentifications of Epinephelus octofasciatus.
