1. Goldband Snapper (Anggoli Snapper)
Goldband Snapper (its scientific name is often associated with the genus Pristipomoides, such as Pristipomoides multidens or Pristipomoides typus) is a type of snapper that has certain characteristics:

a. Appearance:

• As the name implies, this fish has golden yellow stripes or spots on its head, body, or fins. This is one of the most striking characteristics that distinguishes it.
• The tail fin is often yellowish.
• The size can reach quite large, with specimens usually found around 75-80 cm.

b. Meat:

• The meat is white with a soft texture. Goldband Snapper is often considered to have a savory and delicious taste, making it a favorite for export to various countries.

c. Habitat:

• Generally lives in deep sea waters, often found in coral reef areas.

2. "Other White Fish"
The term "white fish" refers to fish that have white flesh when cooked. This can include various types of fish, both freshwater and saltwater. Some examples of "white fish" that are common in Indonesia include:

• Often cultivated.

c. White Pomfret (Pampus argenteus):

• Although not native to Indonesia, cod is a classic example of a white fish that is very popular in the world.

• Dori Fish/Patin Dori (often referring to Pangasius fish fillets or sometimes John Dory):
