Talk:bluefish
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

- According to w:bluefish, the fish that are no longer included in the genus are now the Scombropidae (w:gnomefish) of which there is only one genus, Scombrops, and only three species.
- This book says that S. boops is called "Japanese bluefish"
- This book lists S. gilberti as "Japanese bluefish" in the index (not a usage, but presumably there is one somewhere in the book)
- I'm not turning up anything for S. oculatus. SpinningSpark 17:28, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- I can't defend that definition (which I added several months ago). DCDuring (talk) 14:28, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
