Mutsu (English name) Scombrops boops
A marine fish of the family Scutigera (illustration). It is found mainly from central Honshu south to Okinawa, but can also be found in southern Hokkaido. It is generally treated without distinction from another species of the same genus, S. gilberti . Depending on the region, juveniles are called Onshirazu, Kujiratoushi, Himutsu, etc., and adults are called Okimutsu, Kurumachi, Nodokuro, etc. In Sendai, it is called Rokunouo or Roku, which is said to be out of courtesy to the feudal lord, Date Mutsu-no-kami. Juveniles of both Mutsu and Kuromutsu are reddish brown in color, and live in large schools in very shallow, well-tidal rocky coastal areas.

Japanese:
スズキ目ムツ科の海産魚(イラスト)。おもに本州中部以南から沖縄にかけて分布しているが,北海道南部にもいる。一般に同属の別種クロムツS.gilbertiと区別せずに扱う。地方により,幼魚をオンシラズ,クジラトウシ,ヒムツなど,成魚をオキムツ,クルマチ,ノドクロなどと呼ぶ。また仙台ではロクノウオまたはロクと呼ぶが,これは藩主伊達陸奥守に遠慮したためと伝えられている。ムツ,クロムツとも幼魚は体が赤褐色で,沿岸のごく浅い,潮通しのよい岩礁域に大群をなしている。
