Brown Spotted Cod

Hi, Deckya

Thanks for your new article about the Brown Spotted Cod. Can you double-check the scientific name in the article that you provided, Promicrops lanceolarus? Fishbase and Google haven't heard of that species, although there is a Promicrops lanceolatus, and the current valid name in Fishbase is Epinephelus lanceolatus. Wikipedia has an article, Giant grouper, with that scientific name, so your new article may be a duplication of that one. Fishbase doesn't mention the common name "Brown Spotted Cod" for this species, although it calls the fish the Giant Grouper.

Thanks for your contributions. Neil916 (Talk) 07:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Estuary Cod

Hi again,

I noticed the other article you created. Are you sure you're not referring to Epinephelus coioides? That's what Fishbase lists as the fish with the common name "estuary cod" or "Orange-spotted grouper", and the photo looks more like the description you've provided (though I can't find any reference to "greasy cod" or "spotted river cod"). Here's a link: [1]. Thanks. Neil916 (Talk) 07:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was unaware that they are unheard of, i got them both out of The Australian Fisherman's Companion by Harold Vaughan, it's an old book so i guess they could be out of date scientific names.
