分布
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
廣泛分布於印度-太平洋區及東太平洋區之溫熱帶海域,
西起非洲東部,延伸至南非的納塔爾;東至克利珀頓島,
可可島與加拉巴哥群島,北至琉球群島,南至澳洲大堡礁、諾福克島與羅得豪島。臺灣的四周海域及離島均可見。
利用
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
一般以一支釣及延繩釣的方法捕獲。魚肉白,但質地較爛,煮湯時肉易散開且多溶解油質,因此適合抹鹽油煎食用。唯須注意其內臟可能累積熱帶海魚毒。而它的鱗片及棘刺尖利,需小心刺傷。在水族館中也有人看上它鮮紅的體色,將它飼養做為觀賞魚。

The blotcheye soldierfish (Myripristis berndti) is a species of soldierfish belonging to the family Holocentridae.
Description
Mixed-species aggregation of
Myripristis berndti
This species grows to a length of 30 centimetres (12 in) TL. The body is oval and laterally compressed and the scales are quite large. The basic colour is silvery pink to pale yellowish, with red scale margins. The opercular membrane is black. The dorsal fin is large and spiny, ranging from yellow to orange-yellow. The other fins are red with white edges. The eyes are large, as this fish is mainly nocturnal. The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw when mouth is closed. They usually aggregate in mixed-species and mainly feed on plankton. This fish is a target of commercial fisheries and can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Distribution and habitat
Myripristis berndti is widespread in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This species can be found on tropical reefs hiding in caves or under ledges, at depths of from 1 to 50 metres (3.3 to 164.0 ft).
