Abstract
Scorpaenopsis lactomaculata (Herre, 1945) belongs to the family Scorpaenidae and commonly known as Scorpion fish. As the name suggests, scorpion fish have a type of “sting” in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas, but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. Originally Scorpenopsis lactomaculata (Herre, 1945)was assigned underthe genus Scorpaena Herre, 1945.
