Research Abstract

Taxonomic review of the scorpaenid genera Scorpaena and Parascorpaena in the Indo-Pacific region was made. In this study, synonymies of each species of the genera were assessed following the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and descriptions of undescribed species were given. Morphology, biology, and distributional pattern of each species were revealed in this study.
