Albula koreana, the Korean bonefish, is a species of marine fish found in the western Pacific Ocean, off the coast of eastern Asia.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Bonefish were once believed to be a single species with a global distribution, however 9 different species have since been identified. There are three identified species in the Atlantic and six in the Pacific.[3] A. koreana was described as a new species in 2011 based on genetic evidence from populations previously assigned to A. vulpes.[1][4]
Distribution
This species has been identified off the southern coast of South Korea and the northern coast of Taiwan.[4]
