APPENDIX A: LIST OF AUSTRALIAN STANDARD FISH NAMES......................................... 14


1<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Unique standard names <strong>for</strong> all described Australian fishes (about 4,500 species) <strong>are</strong> presented<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> first time. Leading fish taxonomists, fish-book authors, members of <strong>the</strong> Fish Names<br />

Committee, and representatives of key stakeholder groups cooperated to produce <strong>the</strong> standard<br />

names list, which was also made available <strong>for</strong> public comment. The current list once-and-<strong>for</strong>-all<br />

eliminates confusion surrounding fish names in Australia. Species that were previously known<br />

by up to a dozen or more names around <strong>the</strong> country now have a single standard name, and<br />

species that lacked a common name now have one assigned. Seafood Services Australia Ltd,<br />

which is registered with Standards Australia as a standards development organisation, combined<br />

<strong>the</strong> list presented here with <strong>the</strong> names of imported fishes, commercial groupings of species, and<br />

commercial invertebrates (domestic and imported) to produce <strong>the</strong> Australian Standard Fish<br />

Names List (ASFNL). The ASFNL will <strong>for</strong>m part of <strong>the</strong> Australian Fish Names Standard. While<br />

this current publication links each standard name with its scientific name (and authority) and its<br />

Codes <strong>for</strong> Australian Aquatic Biota (CAAB) code, work remains to present <strong>the</strong> list in a more<br />

user-friendly, visually sympa<strong>the</strong>tic, and searchable manner. Necessary enhancements, which <strong>are</strong><br />

required sooner ra<strong>the</strong>r than later, include <strong>the</strong> incorporation of obsolete names and species<br />

images. The inclusion of distribution maps and user-friendly diagnostic characters to identify<br />

species would also improve its utility. Such improvements, especially if available both in<br />

hardcopy and online, would provide widely accessible and highly valuable tools to in<strong>for</strong>m and<br />

educate <strong>the</strong> fishing and scientific communities, as well as consumers and o<strong>the</strong>r interested users.<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes

1. INTRODUCTION<br />

1.1 Background<br />

Australia’s ichthyofauna is highly diverse. At least 5000 species (about 4500 described<br />

plus more than 300 new or as yet unidentified species, total is likely to exceed 5000) occur<br />

in Australian seas (Hoese et al., in press), which represent nearly 20% of <strong>the</strong> world’s fishes<br />

(Nelson, 2006). While many hundreds of Australian fishes have never been given a local<br />

common name, o<strong>the</strong>rs have multiple names. For example, names <strong>for</strong> common recreational<br />

and commercial species often vary regionally, and dozens of species have acquired at least<br />

five or six names. One, Arripis truttaceus (Western Australian Salmon), has been referred<br />

to by at least 20 published common names. Some species have different names depending<br />

on <strong>the</strong>ir growth stage. For example, Pagrus auratus (Snapper), is called ‘Cockney’, ‘Red<br />

Bream’, ‘Squire’, ‘Snapper’ and ‘Old Man Snapper’ based on size and head shape. In total,<br />

about 13,000 names have been used in Australia <strong>for</strong> about 3000 fish species, and about<br />

1000 had never been assigned a name.<br />

Fish names <strong>are</strong> frequently referred to by an extremely broad variety of user groups<br />

including commercial fishers, recreational fishers, seafood consumers, scientists, fisheries<br />

administrators, aquarists, editors, educators, lawyers, legislators, and authors. The<br />

unavailability or inconsistent use of common names of fishes has, at times, created<br />

problems <strong>for</strong> all <strong>the</strong>se groups, <strong>not</strong> least of which, <strong>the</strong> seafood industry. It has also led to<br />

serious confusion when interpreting catch-return sheets and fisheries data that <strong>are</strong> based on<br />

common names. Fish identification guides to <strong>the</strong> Australian fauna often use more than a<br />

single name <strong>for</strong> a species. Obviously, a widely adopted list of standard names would bring<br />

stability across user groups and would be beneficial to all.<br />

The call <strong>for</strong> a uni<strong>for</strong>m list of names has been made a number of times. In 1911, NSW<br />

government fisheries identity, D. G. Stead, was <strong>the</strong> first to plead <strong>for</strong> more uni<strong>for</strong>mity in<br />

fish names (Whitley, 1972). In <strong>the</strong> highly acclaimed Fish and Fisheries of Australia,<br />

Roughley (1951) reported that during <strong>the</strong> first half of <strong>the</strong> 20 th Century, several attempts to<br />

determine uni<strong>for</strong>m Australian names <strong>for</strong> fishes known by multiple names across<br />

jurisdictions, ‘met with little success’. Roughley flagged a more successful 1947 meeting<br />

of <strong>the</strong> chiefs of State Fisheries Departments and tabled a list of <strong>the</strong> 35 or so Uni<strong>for</strong>m<br />

Names of Australian Fishes that were agreed upon. The need <strong>for</strong> a standard list of common<br />

names was again prophetically highlighted by eminent Australian scientist, Gilbert<br />

Whitley, in 1972. Although enthusiastic of <strong>the</strong> need <strong>for</strong> a standard, Whitley stated that ‘<strong>the</strong><br />

day is probably distant when we shall have standard, suitable, names <strong>for</strong> most of <strong>the</strong> 2,500<br />

different species of Australian fishes.’<br />

Finally, dedicated cooperative work by various agencies Australia-wide has now produced<br />

this milestone publication: an approved list of Australian standard fish names (Appendix<br />

A). This ef<strong>for</strong>t, since <strong>the</strong> mid-1980s, originally focused on <strong>the</strong> names of commercial<br />

species, but in <strong>the</strong> early 2000s <strong>the</strong> focus expanded to cover all named Australian fishes. It<br />

was also recognised that although <strong>the</strong> 350 or so major commercial species had unique<br />

common (or marketing) names, secondary commercial and bycatch species mostly had<br />

ei<strong>the</strong>r multiple common names or none at all. Lead agencies driving <strong>the</strong> process to assign a<br />

standard name to all species were <strong>the</strong> Fisheries Research & Development Corporation<br />

(FRDC)—including <strong>the</strong> industry-supported Fish Names Committee (FNC) and its<br />

predecessors, and Seafood Services Australia (SSA)—and CSIRO Marine and<br />

Atmospheric Research. However, <strong>the</strong> final selection of names also involved fish<br />

taxonomists from all States and Territories (except <strong>the</strong> Australian Capital Territory), in<br />

addition to leading fish-book authors and representatives of key user groups.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r countries have similarly adopted standard lists of common names of fishes. For<br />

example, <strong>the</strong> American Fisheries Society recently published <strong>the</strong> Sixth Edition of Common<br />

and Scientific Names of Fishes from <strong>the</strong> United States, Canada, and Mexico (Nelson et al.,<br />

2004). The first edition was in 1948. The inclusion of Mexican fishes was new in <strong>the</strong> latest<br />

edition and contributed to an increase in <strong>the</strong> number of species listed to 3,700. This North<br />

American list is limited to continental shelf species (i.e. it excludes species that only occur<br />

deeper than 200 m). Following <strong>the</strong> North American lead, Common and Scientific Names of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Fishes of Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Africa was published in two parts—Marine Fishes by Smith (1975),<br />

and Freshwater Fishes by Jackson (1975). The marine fish component was again restricted<br />

to continental shelf species. Japan has also standardised fish common names (in Japanese).<br />

Nakabo’s (2002) Fishes of Japan (English Edition) is considered <strong>the</strong> standard <strong>for</strong> fish<br />

names, with <strong>the</strong> Ichthyological Society of Japan posting additional, post-2002 names (i.e.<br />

new records and new species) on <strong>the</strong>ir website. It is a requirement <strong>for</strong> Japanese fish<br />

taxonomists to propose a new Japanese common name in conjunction with a new scientific<br />

name.<br />

1.2 Strategy and scope<br />

The overarching approach taken in <strong>the</strong> process of producing a standard names list of<br />

Australian fishes was to (1) standardise <strong>the</strong> names <strong>for</strong> described Australian fishes, <strong>the</strong>n (2)<br />

proliferate <strong>the</strong> standard in order to educate user groups. Early adoption of standard names<br />

Australia-wide will be assisted by consistency across various types of publications. To that<br />

end, representatives of diverse user groups were invited to contribute to <strong>the</strong> names<br />

selection. To set an example of inter-agency cooperation, <strong>the</strong> standard names listed here<br />

will also be included in <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>thcoming ABRS Pisces Catalogues (Hoese et al., in press).<br />

In addition to an open process of names selection that allowed <strong>for</strong> comprehensive public<br />

comment (see Methods below), <strong>the</strong> names will be approved under a national standard. To<br />

achieve this, SSA (which facilitates <strong>the</strong> FNC) was accredited by <strong>the</strong> standards development<br />

body, Standards Australia, as a standards development organisation. The list of standard<br />

names fulfils <strong>the</strong> requirements of Standards Australia as a national standard.<br />

The present document presents <strong>the</strong> standard names list <strong>for</strong> described species occurring in<br />

Australian continental marine and freshwater environs (4,506 species from 355 families) as<br />

of February, 2006. It is <strong>not</strong> intended to review standard names (locally or internationally)<br />

or to document in detail <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>the</strong> standard names process to date. It is, however,<br />

<strong>the</strong> first step in advertising <strong>the</strong> complete catalogue of standard names, particularly to <strong>the</strong><br />

scientific and management communities. The list herein links standard names to CAAB<br />

codes, and current scientific names and <strong>the</strong>ir authorities.<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


4<br />

The order of families follows <strong>the</strong> cataloguing order used in Australian museums (which is<br />

based on a 3-digit numbering system from 1 to 470) and does <strong>not</strong> con<strong>for</strong>m to current<br />

systematic knowledge. The order presented has been used <strong>for</strong> cataloguing fish specimens in<br />

Australian museums <strong>for</strong> more than 30 years, and is based on fish relationships proposed by<br />

Greenwood et al. (1966). By and large, <strong>the</strong> family names used in <strong>the</strong> present list con<strong>for</strong>m to<br />

those used by Hoese et al. (in press) but <strong>the</strong>re <strong>are</strong> exceptions (<strong>for</strong> example, where some<br />

families have been recently lumped or split) and minor variation in family common names.<br />

It is acknowledged that <strong>the</strong> list below is <strong>not</strong> user-friendly, and <strong>the</strong>re remains <strong>the</strong> need to<br />

better educate o<strong>the</strong>r user groups, including seafood consumers and <strong>the</strong> general public. This<br />

will be achieved over time through various searchable and updatable online facilities (such<br />

as <strong>the</strong> CAAB portal, http://www.marine.csiro.au/caab, and SSA’s fish names website,<br />

http://www.seafood.net.au/fishnames) and through <strong>the</strong> cooperation of fish-book authors.<br />

As new fish books <strong>are</strong> published using <strong>the</strong> standard names, <strong>the</strong> names will be adopted<br />

nationally. The approved Australian Standard Fish Names List will be included in <strong>the</strong><br />

Australian Fish Names Standard. Details of <strong>the</strong> Standard and <strong>the</strong> latest list of Standard<br />

Names <strong>are</strong> available at <strong>the</strong> fish names website.<br />

2. METHODS<br />

2.1 Process<br />

The following process was undertaken to select and ratify standard names.<br />

Names used in Australia <strong>for</strong> each species were sourced by <strong>the</strong> editors. The name-selection<br />

protocols (see below) were <strong>the</strong>n applied to select one name per species. The resultant<br />

‘strawman’ list was circulated <strong>for</strong> comment to key stakeholders, fish taxonomists and fish-book<br />

authors via <strong>the</strong> Fish Names Expert Group (FNEG), and advertised <strong>for</strong> public comment. The lists<br />

were posted online via CSIRO’s CAAB portal <strong>for</strong> easy access. When requested, hardcopies<br />

were posted to interested parties.<br />

Comments received, both from <strong>the</strong> FNEG and from <strong>the</strong> public, were subsequently addressed<br />

and resolved at a two-day Common Names Workshop of fish name specialists and key<br />

stakeholder representatives, which was help in Adelaide in September, 2004. The Workshop<br />

was a joint CSIRO/SSA process held under <strong>the</strong> auspices of <strong>the</strong> FNC (to ensure wide stakeholder<br />

ownership and adoption). Names that were <strong>not</strong> commented on prior to <strong>the</strong> workshop were<br />

deemed to be acceptable to all user groups and <strong>the</strong> public, and were considered to be ratified by<br />

<strong>the</strong> FNEG. Most public feedback was via designated State Representatives, who each<br />

coordinated responses from <strong>the</strong>ir State/Territory.<br />

Table 1 lists <strong>the</strong> participants in <strong>the</strong> Common Names Workshop. The FNEG comprises those<br />

who participated in <strong>the</strong> workshop plus two participants (Jeff Johnson, Queensland Museum;<br />

Klynton Wanganeen, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission) who were unable to<br />

attend <strong>the</strong> meeting in person but who were able to contribute to <strong>the</strong> process none<strong>the</strong>less.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> workshop, <strong>the</strong> entire list was again posted online and advertised <strong>for</strong> public comment.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong> public consultation phase was officially 3 months, <strong>the</strong> list was open <strong>for</strong> comment<br />

<strong>for</strong> about 1 year.<br />

Late in 2005, <strong>the</strong> names of species that had been described or newly recorded from Australia<br />

since <strong>the</strong> workshop, and names of species that had been inadvertently overlooked in <strong>the</strong> original<br />

‘strawman’ list, were ratified out-of-session by <strong>the</strong> FNEG (using <strong>the</strong> same protocols as were<br />

applied be<strong>for</strong>e and during <strong>the</strong> workshop) and advertised <strong>for</strong> public comment.<br />

In February 2006, <strong>the</strong> list was considered final with respect to development of <strong>the</strong> national<br />

standard and <strong>for</strong> publication. New names (i.e. newly described or recorded from Australia) will<br />

be considered later by <strong>the</strong> FNEG and subsequently incorporated into <strong>the</strong> Standard.<br />

The standard referred to is an Australian Standard developed by Seafood Services Australia Ltd<br />

(SSA), which is accredited as a standards development organisation by Standards Australia. The<br />

Australian Standard Fish Names List comprises <strong>not</strong> only <strong>the</strong> individal Australian fish names<br />

published here but also names <strong>for</strong> imported fishes, group names that cover more than one<br />

species, and names <strong>for</strong> commercial invertebrates (both domestic and imported). Fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

2.2 Names selection<br />

2.2.1 Protocols (rules) <strong>for</strong> names selection<br />

This section details <strong>the</strong> protocols used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> selection of standard names <strong>for</strong> Australian fishes<br />

under <strong>the</strong> following headings:<br />

• General Principles<br />

• Steps <strong>for</strong> Standard Name Selection<br />

• Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Selecting Names<br />

• Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Deriving New Names (where no Australian name exists)<br />

• Syntax and Style Rules<br />

The protocols were ratified and applied by <strong>the</strong> Fish Names Expert Group. The current protocols<br />

<strong>are</strong> available in <strong>the</strong> Australian Fish Names Standard.<br />

The following definitions apply:<br />

standard name—<strong>the</strong> unique common name selected and approved <strong>for</strong> a particular species,<br />

and ratified by SSA in accordance with Standards Australia requirements; <strong>the</strong> names listed<br />

herein as standard names will become official standard fish names when <strong>the</strong> Australian<br />

Fish Names Standard is published.<br />

scientific name—a fish’s unique name based on international rules of nomenclature; each<br />

unique scientific name is a binomen, consisting of a genus name and a species name, both<br />

of which <strong>are</strong> italicised.<br />

common or vernacular name—<strong>the</strong> non-scientific name(s) applied to a species.<br />

obsolete name—any common or vernacular name that has been applied to a particular<br />

species but is <strong>not</strong> <strong>the</strong> standard name of that species or species group.<br />

General Principles<br />

The following list, which includes 14 general principles <strong>for</strong> selection of standard names, has<br />

been complied and adapted from Smith (1975) and Nelson et al. (2004). The principles have<br />

been used to produce three steps (explained below) in <strong>the</strong> name selection process.<br />

1. Each species and family shall be assigned a single, approved standard name (i.e., a<br />

common or vernacular name) and no two species or family shall have <strong>the</strong> same<br />

approved standard name.<br />

2. Subspecies and hybrids will <strong>not</strong> generally be given a standard name.<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


7<br />

3. Historical names in regular use or widely accepted names or combinations will have<br />

priority over less used or less well-known names.<br />

4. Simplicity of names and name structure shall be fundamental to <strong>the</strong> naming process.<br />

(i.e., whenever possible, long-winded names, and unnecessary suffixes and hyphens<br />

should be avoided).<br />

5. Selected names should avoid ambiguity. Where names combine well (elements <strong>are</strong><br />

easily determined and unambiguous), use one word (e.g., Elephantfish). Where<br />

combinations involve vowel or letter pairing, use hyphens (e.g., Blue-eye, Spot-tail).<br />

Separate names to maintain ‘readability’ if <strong>the</strong> word elements <strong>are</strong> unclear (e.g., as a<br />

suffix, ‘fish’ combines well but ‘shark’ is sometimes confusing). The combining of long<br />

names with multiple descriptors should be avoided (e.g., ‘Sixgillstingrays’ is unwieldy<br />

and better separated as ‘Sixgill Stingrays’).<br />

6. Names should generally con<strong>for</strong>m with o<strong>the</strong>r members of <strong>the</strong> familial or generic-level<br />

grouping (e.g., an un-named species of fla<strong>the</strong>ad should typically be called ‘Newname<br />

Fla<strong>the</strong>ad’).<br />

7. Generic or family names (i.e., scientific names) may be employed outright (e.g.,<br />

Remora <strong>for</strong> Remora remora) or in modified <strong>for</strong>m (e.g., Oxeye Oreo <strong>for</strong> Oreosoma<br />

atlanticum) as standard names.<br />

8. A standard name need <strong>not</strong> be intimately tied to scientific name changes (i.e., if <strong>the</strong><br />

scientific name of a particular species changes, <strong>the</strong> standard name should remain<br />

unaffected unless <strong>the</strong>re is a good reason <strong>for</strong> change).<br />

9. Standard names shall always start with a capital letter; each word will be capitalised<br />

except after a hyphen (e.g., False Silver Whiptail but Spot-tail Shark). Exceptions<br />

include proper nouns (place names) such as ‘Indo-Pacific Snaggletooth’ and ‘North-<br />

West Hardyhead’. The original principle proposed was that standard names shall <strong>not</strong> be<br />

capitalised in sentence use except <strong>for</strong> those elements that <strong>are</strong> based on proper nouns<br />

(e.g., silver dory but Sydney skate). However, FNEG discussions at <strong>the</strong> Adelaide<br />

workshop resulted in a change to capitalisation. This is consistent with a similar change<br />

made recently <strong>for</strong> North American fishes.<br />

10. Patronyms or names intended to honour persons (apart from those that <strong>are</strong> historically<br />

entrenched) <strong>are</strong> discouraged but should be used when no user-friendly, diagnostic<br />

descriptors <strong>are</strong> available. When used, <strong>the</strong>se names should include an apostrophe (e.g.,<br />

Ray’s Bream). Names derived from ships should <strong>not</strong> be represented in <strong>the</strong> possessive<br />

case (e.g., Kapala Sting<strong>are</strong>e). The original principle proposed here was that possessive<br />

standard names should <strong>not</strong> include an apostrophe. However, FNEG discussions at <strong>the</strong><br />

Adelaide workshop resulted in a change to apostrophes.<br />

11. C<strong>are</strong> should be taken to construct <strong>the</strong> correct <strong>for</strong>m of <strong>the</strong> descriptor (e.g., ‘Orangespot’<br />

refers to a species with a single orange spot or bilateral pair of spots; ‘Orangespotted’<br />

refers to a species with multiple orange spots; ‘Orange Spotted’ is nonspecific (e.g.,<br />

‘Orange Spotted Catshark’ refers to a member of a group of ‘spotted catsharks’ in<br />

which <strong>the</strong> species has ei<strong>the</strong>r orange spots or an orange body – in this case, <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mer).<br />

The abbreviated <strong>for</strong>m is used if <strong>the</strong> first part of <strong>the</strong> word defines (explictly or implicitly)<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


8<br />

<strong>the</strong> number of <strong>the</strong> profiled feature (e.g., ‘Threespot Cardinalfish’; ‘Multispot<br />

Lanternfish’).<br />

12. The expression ‘common’, or emotive terms such as ‘dangerous’, as part of a fish’s<br />

name shall be used sparingly. Descriptors of size (e.g., little, large) should also be<br />

avoided unless strongly diagnostic of <strong>the</strong> species or group in question.<br />

13. The use of standard names that <strong>are</strong> also widely used <strong>for</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r organisms should be<br />

avoided unless pre- or suffixed to make <strong>the</strong>m distinct.<br />

14. Family group names generally follow internationally accepted names (Nelson, 2006)<br />

unless alternatives <strong>are</strong> well entrenched in Australian mainstream literature.<br />

Steps <strong>for</strong> Standard Name Selection<br />

The following steps were used to select candidate names <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> review process:<br />

STEP 1<br />

(a) If <strong>the</strong> species has one or more vernacular or marketing names in Australia, go to<br />

STEP 2.<br />

(b) If <strong>the</strong> species does <strong>not</strong> presently have a documented vernacular or marketing name<br />

in Australia, derive/assign a name based on <strong>the</strong> general principles above and<br />

Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Deriving New Names below.<br />

STEP 2<br />

(a) If <strong>the</strong> species already has a unique marketing name (FNC approved) <strong>the</strong>n retain<br />

that name (but give due attention to general principles above).<br />

(b) O<strong>the</strong>rwise, go to STEP 3.<br />

STEP 3<br />

(a) If <strong>the</strong> species has a single vernacular name (iconic or o<strong>the</strong>rwise) in Australia <strong>the</strong>n<br />

retain that name in full or in part (giving due attention to general principles above).<br />

(b) If <strong>the</strong> species has more than one vernacular name, select a name based on <strong>the</strong><br />

general principles above and <strong>the</strong> Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Selecting Names below.<br />

Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Selecting Names<br />

The following criteria should be considered when selecting a name from a group of potentially<br />

available names. The relative importance of each will depend on <strong>the</strong> case at hand and flexibility<br />

is often needed.<br />

1. Names that have been widely used across Australia <strong>for</strong> more than a century (historical<br />

names), or nationally entrenched names, would generally have preference over recently<br />

derived, less well-used names.<br />

2. A regional name where <strong>the</strong> species is most commonly encountered/caught would<br />

normally have priority over less frequently used names or names used where <strong>the</strong> species<br />

is less common.<br />

3. Names used in recent mainstream field guides and group treatments with regional<br />

relevance (e.g., Allen, Midgley & Allen, 2002; Kuiter, 2000) have wide public exposure<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


9<br />

and should generally be followed. It should also be <strong>not</strong>ed that later guides <strong>are</strong> more<br />

likely to have applied each common name to <strong>the</strong> correct species.<br />

4. A name that most effectively distinguishes a species from its closest relatives (e.g., by<br />

reference to a diagnostic feature) is preferred over less obvious or irrelevant<br />

combinations.<br />

5. Where none of <strong>the</strong> above applies, names should be selected in full or in part based on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir simplicity, unambiguous nature, and readability.<br />

Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Deriving New Names (where no Australian name exists)<br />

Names need to be derived on a case-by-case basis using one or more of <strong>the</strong> following criteria<br />

and considering relevant issues relating to <strong>the</strong> selection of existing names (above):<br />

1. Adopt commonly used, local group names where <strong>the</strong>y exist.<br />

2. Use FAO or o<strong>the</strong>r international group names that <strong>are</strong> well known and widely applied<br />

elsewhere.<br />

3. Construct descriptors based on -<br />

a. use of etymology of <strong>the</strong> epi<strong>the</strong>t;<br />

b. structural attributes, coloration, and colour pattern;<br />

c. suitable adjectival modifiers reflecting <strong>the</strong> geographic distribution of <strong>the</strong><br />

species;<br />

d. ecological or biological characteristics of <strong>the</strong> species;<br />

e. colourful, romantic, fanciful, metaphorical, o<strong>the</strong>rwise distinctive and original<br />

names.<br />

4. Use well-accepted aboriginal names as descriptors.<br />

5. Repetition of frequently used descriptors (e.g., spotted, banded, striped, Australian,<br />

deepwater) should only be used when no o<strong>the</strong>r distinctive attribute exists.<br />

Syntax and Style Rules<br />

The following syntax and style rules were adopted (in addition to some mentioned above):<br />

• Hyphens <strong>are</strong> used sparingly, to improve readability or to define certain place names<br />

(e.g., Indo-Pacific) as described above. Reducing <strong>the</strong> use of hyphens simplifies <strong>the</strong> list<br />

and generally removes subjectivity as to where <strong>the</strong>y should or shouldn’t be used. If<br />

<strong>the</strong>re <strong>are</strong> three or four word components in a name, <strong>the</strong> last two represent <strong>the</strong> group<br />

name (without use of a hyphen to show that connection). For example, <strong>the</strong> ‘Bighead<br />

Gurnard Perch’ is a type of gurnard perch. However, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>are</strong> r<strong>are</strong> exceptions to <strong>the</strong><br />

rule, usually when <strong>the</strong> first two words represent a geographic descriptor (e.g., ‘Bass<br />

Strait Flounder’).<br />

• Where possible, group name components <strong>are</strong> joined toge<strong>the</strong>r to <strong>for</strong>m one word, but this<br />

often creates clumsy words. For example ‘Carpetshark’ seems to work well, but<br />

‘Sharpnoseshark’ is somehow clumsy and better presented as ‘Sharpnose Shark’.<br />

• Abbreviated <strong>for</strong>ms of words and combined words <strong>are</strong> preferred except where <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

some advantage in retaining <strong>the</strong> unabbreviated <strong>for</strong>m or in keeping <strong>the</strong> words separate.<br />

• Use ‘and’ ra<strong>the</strong>r than ‘&’.<br />

• Use ‘zigzag’ ra<strong>the</strong>r than ‘zig-zag’.<br />

Notwithstanding all of <strong>the</strong> above, <strong>the</strong> following exceptions and rules were employed <strong>for</strong> special<br />

cases:<br />

• Words that end in ‘ate’. Most words that end in ‘ate’ <strong>are</strong> adjectives, so a ‘d’ is <strong>not</strong><br />

required at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> word (e.g., ‘Reticulate Pipefish’ ra<strong>the</strong>r than ‘Reticulated<br />

Pipefish’). For verbs, such as ‘inflate’, a ‘d’ is required at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> word (e.g.,<br />

‘Inflated Whiptail’). The following ‘ate’ words were used:<br />

o<br />

o<br />

‘Annulate’ adj<br />

‘Decorate’ v, <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e ‘Decorated’<br />

‘Delicate’ adj<br />

‘Elongate’ v/adj<br />

‘Fimbriate’ adj<br />

‘Frigate’ n<br />

‘Immaculate’ adj<br />

‘Inflate’ v, <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e ‘Inflated’<br />

‘Lanceolate’ adj<br />

‘Ocellate’ adj<br />

‘Ornate’ adj<br />

‘Reticulate’ adj<br />

‘Striate’ v/adj<br />

‘Variegate’ v, <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e ‘Variegated’<br />

‘Vermiculate’ v/adj<br />

• Words preceding ‘band’ and ‘banded’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Goldband Fusilier’;<br />

‘Orangebanded Coralfish’) except <strong>for</strong> unwieldy combinations (e.g., ‘Oblique-banded<br />

Snapper’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘bar’ and ‘barred’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Orangebar Threefin’;<br />

‘Blackbarred Wrasse’) except <strong>for</strong> unwieldy combinations (e.g., ‘Oblique-bar Monocle<br />

Bream’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘blotched’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Whiteblotched Sole’).<br />

• Words following ‘double’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Doubleline Fusilier’) except when<br />

followed by an ‘e’ (e.g., ‘Double-end Pipehorse’) or based on readability (i.e., ‘Doublerow<br />

Grubfish’).<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


11<br />

• Words following ‘false’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Falsespine Catfish’) or separated (e.g.,<br />

‘False-girdled Reefgoby’) based on readability.<br />

• Words following ‘half’ <strong>are</strong> combined except in one case (i.e., ‘Half-and-half Puller’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘line’ and ‘lined’ <strong>are</strong> usually combined (e.g., ‘Manyline<br />

Lea<strong>the</strong>rjacket’; ‘Narrowlined Puffer’) except in a few cases based on readability (e.g.,<br />

‘Two-line Monocle Bream’).<br />

• ‘Margin’ (a noun) is used if <strong>the</strong> type or colour of <strong>the</strong> margin is defined (e.g.,<br />

‘Brownmargin Fla<strong>the</strong>ad’); ‘Margined’ (an adjective) is used if it’s stand alone (e.g.,<br />

‘Margined Coralfish’).<br />

• ‘Multi’ is usually combined (e.g., ‘Multispot Lanternfish’) except <strong>for</strong> one unwieldy<br />

case (i.e., ‘Multi-thread Dragonfish’).<br />

• ‘Shor<strong>the</strong>ad’ is one word (e.g., ‘Shor<strong>the</strong>ad Lamprey’).<br />

• ‘Spangled’ <strong>not</strong> ‘spangle’ (e.g., ‘Spangled Emperor’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘speckled’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Bluespeckled Pipefish’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘spine’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Shortspine Goosefish’).<br />

• Words preceding ‘spotted’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Bluespotted Tuskfish’) except <strong>for</strong><br />

longer words that end in ‘y’ (e.g., ‘Sparsely-spotted Sting<strong>are</strong>e’), which <strong>are</strong> unweildy if<br />

combined.<br />

• Words preceding ‘streak’ and ‘streaked’ <strong>are</strong> combined (e.g., ‘Redstreaked Blenny’).<br />

In exception to <strong>the</strong> above, it was hard to be consistent with joining ‘goby’ to its descriptor (e.g.,<br />

‘Eel Goby’ vs ‘Eelgoby’) but <strong>the</strong> rules used were that <strong>the</strong> descriptor was combined with ‘goby’<br />

if it was a singular adjective or noun (e.g., ‘Shrimpgoby’, ‘Coralgoby’) but <strong>not</strong> if <strong>the</strong> descriptor<br />

was composite words combined (e.g., ‘Flaphead Goby’, ‘Fatnose Goby’). Exceptions included<br />

long words that failed to combine well (e.g., ‘Silhouette Goby’) and unusual words (e.g., ‘Feia<br />

Goby)’.<br />

3. FUTURE WORK<br />

The list herein links a standard name to <strong>the</strong> scientific name of each Australian fish species. The<br />

inclusion of authorities and CAAB codes removes ambiguity regarding <strong>the</strong> species in question<br />

(e.g. by removing confusion surrounding homonyms), and provides a link to additional<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation (via <strong>the</strong> CAAB website).<br />

However, it is recognised that <strong>the</strong> list in this current <strong>for</strong>mat is <strong>not</strong> user-friendly. Suggested<br />

improvements relate to both <strong>the</strong> online availability of <strong>the</strong> names and any future printed versions.<br />

At a minimum, <strong>the</strong> following improvements should be incorporated into internet/printed<br />

versions of <strong>the</strong> standard names list: (1) <strong>the</strong> ability to search all previous (obsolete) names <strong>for</strong><br />

each species; (2) <strong>the</strong> ability to sort <strong>the</strong> list in various ways; (3) at least one photo of each<br />

Standard Names of Australian Fishes


12<br />

species, and more than one photo per species where appropriate (<strong>for</strong> example, where <strong>the</strong><br />

coloration of females and juveniles differs from that of males); (4) a fillet photo <strong>for</strong> each<br />

commercial species; (5) a short list of simple diagnostic characters <strong>for</strong> each species; (6)<br />

distribution maps; (7) ordering <strong>the</strong> families in currently acceptable phylogenetic order (ie in <strong>the</strong><br />

order of <strong>the</strong>ir natural groupings); and (8) links to o<strong>the</strong>r valuable in<strong>for</strong>mation (such as each<br />

species’ genetic barcode, etc).<br />

The inclusion of obsolete names is an essential capability that would allow users to quickly link<br />

a current standard name with a name <strong>the</strong>y may be more familiar with. With such large numbers<br />

of species and names used in Australia, it is probably impossible <strong>for</strong> anyone to identify and/or<br />

remember <strong>the</strong>m all. There<strong>for</strong>e, tools that associate previous names with standard names would<br />

be frequently used and very valuable.<br />

The inclusion of images would allow a user to quickly (even if somewhat crudely) recognise a<br />

species in question. Past experience with marketing names guides (i.e. Recommended Marketing<br />

Names <strong>for</strong> Fish, 1985, 1988; Marketing Names <strong>for</strong> Fish and Seafood in Australia, 1995;<br />

Handbook of Australian Seafood — an Identification Guide to Domestic Species, 1999) taught<br />

<strong>the</strong> FNC and its predecessors <strong>the</strong> importance and value of including images in publications that<br />

<strong>are</strong> essentially simply a list of names. Media and industry interest in <strong>the</strong> first two marketing<br />

versions (1985, 1988), which excluded images, was low, but when photos and illustrations of<br />

each species were included in <strong>the</strong> third version (1995), <strong>the</strong> profile of <strong>the</strong> series rose<br />

significantly. Soon after, when photos, diagnostic characters, distribution maps and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

relevant in<strong>for</strong>mation was included in <strong>the</strong> Handbook of Australian Seafood (1999), <strong>the</strong> book<br />

topped best-seller lists in Australia.<br />

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<br />

The Fisheries Research & Development Corporation and Seafood Services Australia have been<br />

strong advocates <strong>for</strong> standard names. In particular, we acknowledge <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>esight and hard work<br />

of FRDC’s past Director, Peter Dundas-Smith, and <strong>the</strong> Chairman of SSA, Ted Loveday.<br />

FRDC’s current Director, Patrick Hone, and numerous o<strong>the</strong>r FRDC staff contributed positively<br />

to <strong>the</strong> standard names process. This report was compiled with support from <strong>the</strong> FRDC (Project<br />

2201/231). The current Fish Names Committee acknowledges <strong>the</strong> commitment of previous<br />

committees to drive <strong>the</strong> process of names standardisation since <strong>the</strong> early 1980s. We appreciate<br />

<strong>the</strong> contributions of various fish taxonomists, including Hiro Motomura, Hans Ho and Chris<br />

Kenaly, and Ichthyological Collection staff at various Australian institutions. Many thanks to<br />

those who contributed via <strong>the</strong> Fish Names Expert Group workshop in Adelaide, particularly<br />

Rob Lewis who kindly and efficiently facilitated <strong>the</strong> meeting. Thank <strong>you</strong> also to <strong>the</strong> numerous<br />

CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research staff who assisted with <strong>the</strong> process, in particular<br />
