{"scientificNameAuthorship":"Temminck & Schlegel, 1943","RecordModifiedOn":"2020-06-30","CAAB_code":"37353020","phylum":"Chordata","Notes":"Added based on records from Evans Shoal, NT by Larson et al 2013. Paulin (1990) and Carpenter (2001) regarded <i>Pagrus major</i> from the north-west Pacific as a junior synonym of <i>P. auratus</i>. Workers from Japan and China have treated <i>Pagrus major</i> as a distinct species. Tabata & Taniguchi (2000) found genetic differences between the two forms and recommended recognising the two groups as subspecies. We accept here the separation of the two forms as distinct species. The two Indo-Pacific species are now placed in the genus <i>Chrysophrys</i> (Aust Faunal Directory, accessed 22.6.20).","habitat":"Shelf Demersal (40-200m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"","Parent_Id":"","scientificName":"Chrysophrys major","kingdom":"Animalia","order":"Perciformes","otherVernacularNames":"","Reference":"","vernacularName":"[a bream]","ChildCodes":"","RecordCreatedOn":"2020-06-30","scientificNameID_WoRMS":"urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:314105","family":"Sparidae","standardName":"","class":"Actinopterygii","scientificNameID_AFD":"","CAAB_status":"Valid"}
