Larimichthys
Larimichthys is a genus of ray-finned saltwater fishes commonly known as yellow croakers. Pseudosciaena is a commonly used but invalid synonym for Larimichthys. The genus includes major fishery species in the Northwest Pacific, principally by China: with a catch of 438 thousand tonnes in 2012, small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis is 24th among the 70 "principal" capture species, and also the annual catches of large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea are significant at 70 thousand tonnes.
