Remarks | 'large-scale' refers to the scalature of this species (Bob Fenner, personal observation, 16 June 2000, bobfenner@aol.com). In Triggerfishes, the second spine of the first dorsal acts as a trigger, locking the first spine of the first dorsal fin and if depressed, unlocks the first spine (from Ref. 5288). |
