Remarks "Saint Pierre", i.e. Saint Peter; legend has it that Saint Peter wanted to extract a piece of gold coin from the mouth of this fish, thus, the mark of his fingertip was left on the flank of this fish (Ref. 39210). This reported FAO name (Ref. 37413) is different from the current FAO name ('Saint Pierre', Ref. 171).
