Yes, on it.
Paper mobilized was a compilation checklist paper (Fourriere et al 2017) - see data here (pg. 24)
Note: The "correct" species - Merluccius angustimanus - is also listed
Paper says this species record is recorded from two sources:
Robertson DR, Allen GR (2015). Shore fishes of the Tropical Eastern Pacific. Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Balboa, Panama. http://www.stri.org/sftep/. Accessed 23 March 2015
MZUCR: Museo de Zoología of the Universidad de Costa Rica (aka UCR)
My guess is the MZUCR record was the basis for both Robertson & Allen and Fourriere. Robertson may have looked into this and removed/changed it in their dataset..
@sunray1 This detection is from a secretariat checklist dataset, any chance you can look into it?
