Pomadasys macracanthus
Pomadasys macracanthus, the longspined grunt or Mexican gray perch, is a species of grunt native to the Eastern Pacific from Mexico to Ecuador.[1] This species primarily lives in the littoral zone of the coastal marine environment,[2] but has been known to enter estuaries.[3] Although the longspined grunt is not a true perch, it has been marketed for classroom science dissections as the "Mexican gray perch," offering an apparent marine counterpart to the commonly dissected yellow perch.
