Description
Coral trout is an important food fish in the commercial market, both farmed and harvested wild. Although the meat of coral trout is highly prized, there have been several reports of ciguatera poisoning. This diurnal predator inhabits coral reefs of the Western Pacific Ocean. It's also utilized in aquarium trade and it's a highly valued game fish.
