Comments: Type locality of Epinephelus fuscomarginatus, south of Swain Reefs, Capricorn Channel. Experienced fishers have reported that it can reliably be caught at a number of sites in this area, but it is not common. Catches of groupers from commercial deep dropline fishing off the east coast of Queensland over the past 30 years have not resulted in any additional photographs, reports, or specimens of this species outside of this area. Also there are no other confirmed records of the species in Australia, or elsewhere in the Indo-west Pacific (Ref. 121030).
