Abstract

A single adult specimen of Pomadasys kaakan (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1830 ), 483.0 mm in standard length, was collected at a depth of 36 m off the Satsuma Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Because previous records of the species from Japan had been based on mis-identifications of P. argenteus ( Forsskal, 1775 ), the Kagoshima specimen represents the first reliable record of P. kaakan from Japan supported by a voucher specimen.
