Abstract

Species of genus Carangoides also known as trevallies are one of the commercially exploited groups of fishes in Malaysia. The genus Carangoides consists of fishes with mixed morphological and meristic characteristics. Due to this, species within this genus are often reported as single collective group, rather than as an individual species. Thus, fisheries landing statistics do not reflect the precise number of individual species harvested and the true status of species exploitation pattern will hinder efficient sustainable exploitation of a particular species. In this study, an annotated list of the 13 species of Carangoides known from Malaysian waters is presented with two species (C. oblongus and C. talamparoides) recorded as first specimen-based records and two species (C. chrysophrys and C. fulvoguttatus) as additional specimen-based distribution records in Malaysia. All species are briefly described, and a key is provided to identify Malaysian species of Carangoides. The mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was also analyzed for genetic identification of 271 samples representing all of the species in the study. The average within species K2P distance was 0.4% with C. oblongus and C. praeustus showing the lowest intraspecific divergence (0%) and C. coeruleopinnatus showed the highest (1.3%). A maximum-likelihood tree generated from haplotype sequences clearly grouped all 13 putative species into their own clade. However, C. coeruleopinnatus and C. gymnostethus showed deep intraspecific divergence (9.1% and 3.5%) which formed three and two clusters with their own respective taxa. A more detailed analysis on the taxonomic status of some individuals within these species is required.
