👉 RESPONSE ABOUT BLACK COLOURATION ON OUR BAR CHEEK TROUT.
Dear Eddie,
Thank you for your inquiry, our curator has provided the response below.
The fish is an unusual colour form of a large Blue-spotted Coral Trout, Plectropomus laevis.
The spot pattern of this individual is not consistent with the most common colour forms of either the Blue-spotted Coral Trout (P. laevis), or Bar-cheeked Coral Trout (P. maculatus), however the DNA of other examples of this colour form have been analysed and have turned out to be consistent with typically spotted examples of the Blue-spotted Coral Trout.
The random diffuse black blotches showing on the head, body and fins of this individual are found occasionally in all 5 species of coral trout, and right across the geographic range of the species. Individuals of various species in other families, in both marine and freshwater environments, are also occasionally known to have similar blotches.
The black blotches are not well understood, but may be a genetic condition involving production of excess melanin in the skin, possibly after extended exposure to sunlight. Fish with these melanistic blotches are usually quite large and in very good condition, so the cause is not thought to be related to harmful diseases, or parasites.
