First Record of the Acropomatid Fish Synagrops serratospinosus (Actinopterygii : Teleostei : Perciformes) from Australia

Abstract

Synagrops serratospinosus, previously known from the Philippines and Japan, is recorded from Australia for the first time based on 20 specimens from the Northwest Shelf and the Coral Sea. The Australian specimens differ from the Philippine specimens in having a modally higher number of gill rakers on the lower arm of the first gill arch.
