  • Habitat records: FishBase, accessed using rfishbase.
  • Records describe species habitats, not presence at your sampling site.
  • Synonym matches use the species shown under "Matched name".
  • "Not found" does not mean an invalid name. Missing data do not indicate a habitat.

Japanese names use a name table downloaded from PMiFish, with some Japanese names revised.
