 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article recently promoted to GA; hook short enough & interesting; hook fact confirmed from online Australian Museums citation. I could not access Fishbase, but confirmed synonymy from another source. (Incidentally, might want to mention that the fish was also known as Aulopus purpurissatus). AGF for ALT1 (offline source).
