Larimichthys crocea

Larimichthys crocea, called the Croceine croaker, Large yellow croaker or just the Yellow croaker, is a species of croaker native to the western Pacific, generally in temperate waters such as the Taiwan Strait. Males can reach 80 cm.

Once an abundant commercial fish off China, Korea and Japan, its population collapsed in the 1970s due to overfishing. Fishing boats landed 56,088 t of Larimichthys crocea in 2008. The species is aquafarmed in China, and farms have experienced outbreaks of Nocardia seriolae infections. L. crocea is an important enough commercial species to have its genome mapped and its mitochondrial genome sequenced.
