First Southern Hemisphere Record of Priacanthus zaiserae (Perciformes: Priacanthidae) from Queensland, Australia

抄録

A single priacanthid specimen (129.4 mm in standard length), collected off Cape Moreton, Queensland, Australia at a depth of 109.7 m, was identified as Priacanthus zaiserae Starnes and Moyer, 1988 (Priacanthidae), being characterized by 13 dorsal-fin soft rays, 13 anal-fin soft rays, 25 total gill rakers on first gill arch, 93 scales in lateral series, preopercular spine not reaching to posterior margin of opercle, and posterior margin of caudal fin convex. Because P. zaiserae has been recorded to date only from the northwest Pacific region, from Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, the present specimen from Queensland, described here in detail, represents the first record from the Southern Hemisphere.
