Hashimoto & Motomura (2024) split <i>Priacanthus macracanthus</i> into two species: <i>P. macracanthus</i> (CAAB code 37 326001) is recorded from the eastern Indian and western Pacific oceans, including Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and both eastern and north-western Australia, whereas <i>P. gracilis</i> is only known from eastern Australia (Qld & NSW). The distributions maps for both species currently only include material confirmed from Hashimoto & Motomura 2024, but it is likely both species have broader distributions in Australia.","habitat":"Coastal (0-40m)<br>Shelf Demersal (40-200m)<br>Slope Demersal (200-2000m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"","Parent_Id":"","scientificName":"Priacanthus gracilis","kingdom":"Animalia","order":"Perciformes","otherVernacularNames":"","Reference":"Hashimoto, S. & Motomura, H., 2024.
