Abstract
One specimen (300 mm in standard length) of Saloptia powelli, belonging to the family Serranidae, was newly collected in a local fish market in Manado, North Sulawesi, constituting a new record for the species in the Indonesian archipelago. This species was diagnosed by the following morphological traits: dorsal rays VIII—11, anal rays III—8, well-defined opercular spines, pelvic fins below pectoral fins, caudal fin emarginate, mouth moderate in size, supplemental maxillary present, fine teeth in irregular rows on vomer and palatines. Head, body, and fins yellow in color. We suggest “kerapu emas”, a translation of its existing common name “golden grouper”, for the Indonesian species names.
