Taxon Notes:This code resurrected for family Scorpaenidae after 37 287 split into 8 or so families.
Common/Standard Name Notes: The marketing name 'Coral Perch' was originally applied to a much broader 'family Scorpaenidae' (ie, all families now coded at 37 287). Marketing names applying to these groups should be reconsidered.
