Albula argentea, the silver sharpjaw bonefish, is a species of marine fish found in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. They grow up to 70 cm (28 in).[4]
Taxonomy and nomenclature
Bonefish were once believed to be a single species with a global distribution, but nine different species have since been identified. There are three identified species in the Atlantic and six in the Pacific.[5]
Albula virgata (the longjaw bonefish) and Albula oligolepis (the smallscale bonefish) were formerly assigned to this species, but are now recognized as distinct.[6]
