A single specimen of Scomberoides commersonnianus (Carangidae), previously recorded only from Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Toyama prefectures in Japan, was recently collected off Yamaguchi Prefecture (34˚25.3'N, 131˚21.0'E), southwestern Japan Sea. The newly collected specimen (FAKU 146095, 401.8 mm SL, 424.8 mm FL), representing the fourth Japanese record of the species, was probably transported by the Tsushima Current, flowing northward off the west coast of Kyushu and the Japan Sea coast of mainland Japan. A checklist of 27 carangid fishes found in Wakasa Bay and adjacent waters, central Japan Sea coast of Japan is also provided.
