Lobotes pacificus, commonly known as the Pacific tripletail or West Coast tripletail,[2] is a species of fish in the genus Lobotes.[1][3] It is found near the coast in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, at depths between the surface and 50 metres (160 ft) deep.[1] L. pacificus is caught in some artisanal fisheries and commercially sold.[4] There is disagreement about whether L. pacificus is a synonym of Lobotes surinamensis (the Atlantic tripletail),[4] but it is generally regarded as an independent species.[5] It is categorised as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[1]
