Taxonomy

Bonefish were once believed to be a single species with a global distribution, however 9 different species have since been identified. There are three identified species in the Atlantic and six in the Pacific.[3] A. koreana was described as a new species in 2011 based on genetic evidence from populations previously assigned to A. vulpes.[1][4]

Distribution

This species has been identified off the southern coast of South Korea and the northern coast of Taiwan.[4]
