Takasago (English spelling) doublelined fusilier

Japanese: タカサゴ - たかさご(英語表記)doublelined fusilier
Takasago (English spelling) doublelined fusilier
A marine fish of the family Lutjanidae in the order Passeriformes. Previously, the genus Fusarium was divided into one family, but it is now classified in the family Lutjanidae as there is not enough difference to call it a family. It is tropical and widely distributed from the western Pacific to the Indian Ocean. It is found in southern Japan, but is more common in the Izu Islands, Ogasawara, and Okinawa, where it is affectionately known as Gurukun and designated as the prefecture fish. It is the main target of the drive net. Although Fusarium is the name of Tokyo and Odawara, it has a body shape reminiscent of the Muroaji, as can be seen from the names Hanamuro (Kii, Nagasaki) and Akamuro (Kochi, Kii).

Japanese:
スズメ目フエダイ科の海産魚。従来,タカサゴ属を分けて1科としていたが,科とするほどの違いはないとして,現在はフエダイ科に入れられている。熱帯性で,西部太平洋からインド洋に広く分布する。南日本で見られるが,伊豆諸島,小笠原,沖縄に多く,沖縄ではグルクンの名で親しまれ,県魚に指定されている。追込網の主対象である。タカサゴは東京,小田原の呼名であるが,ハナムロ(紀伊,長崎),アカムロ(高知,紀伊)などの名もあるように,ムロアジを思わせる体型だが,もう少し太い。
