Native origin (?) | Ocean: Indian --> Ocean region: E Indian Ocean --> Ocean region: W Indian Ocean Ocean: Pacific --> Ocean region: NW Pacific --> Ocean region: SW Pacific --> Ocean region: W Tropical Pacific References (not structured): http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7937&genusname=Sphyraena&speciesname=flavicauda Comments: Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea to Samoa, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef.
