“…Identification errors can occur in distinguishing between V. louti and V. albimarginata (Abdullah and Rehbein 2016) because they are morphologically similar and generally only distinguished by the color of the tail. The margin of the caudal fin is white in V. albimarginata (Damora et al 2021) and yellow in V. louti (Michailidis et al 2020). This close resemblance is typical of groupers (Epinephelidae), with high morphological similarity between several species and the presence of cryptic species (Razi et al 2021).…”

“…This genus can be distinguished from other groupers by the lunate shape of the caudal fin, reflected in the common name lyretail. The two species can be distinguished by the color of the caudal fin margin, which is yellow in V. louti and white in V. albimarginata (Michailidis et al 2020;Oshiro et al 2023); this coloration is reflected in the common names for both species and the Latin name of V. albimarginata. The two lyretail groupers are similar in size (Achmad et al 2023a,b), and classified as medium-sized groupers with TL in the range of 36-51 cm (Irigoyen-Arredondo et al 2016).…”

“…Samples of the Variola genus (n = 903) comprised whiteedged lyretail V. albimarginata (n = 529) and the yellowedged lyretail V. louti (n = 374) (Figure 2), both of which are commonly caught in Kwandang Bay (Achmad et al 2023a) and globally assessed as least concern (Nair et al 2018;Sadovy et al 2018). The species of each Variola specimen was determined with reference to the FAO guide to groupers of the world (Heemstra and Randall 1993) and other references (ADB 2017; Michailidis et al 2020). The total length of each specimen was measured using a Cadwell fish ruler (precision 1 mm).…”
