Smallmouth scad

The smallmouth scad (''Alepes apercna'') (also known as the banded scad and roundfin trevally), is a species of tropical marine fish in the jack family Carangidae. The species is endemic to northern Australia, inhabiting primarily inshore waters. It is similar to other scads in the genus ''Alepes'', and is distinguished by a well-developed posterior adipose eyelid, as well as fin membrane spotting and gill raker counts. It is not a large species, with the maximum length reported to be 29.5 cm. It feeds primarily on a variety of small invertebrates, and is of very minor economic importance.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The smallmouth scad is one of five members in the scad genus ''Alepes'', which is one of 33 genera of the jack family, Carangidae. The Carangidae are perciform fish in the suborder Percoidei.
The smallmouth scad has a slightly confusing taxonomic history, with confusion over the classification, the author, and confusion with other species clouding the species past. The first specimen known to science was taken in 1984, and deposited in the Queensland Museum along with photographs of a juvenile as paratypes with no holotype designated. Grant described the species for the first time in 1987 in "Fishes of Australia", crediting the species to Smith-Vaniz, who presumably collected the specimen and wrote a brief description. However, Grant's description of the species is the first publication of the species, making him the correct author under the ICZN rules. Confusion over this species and ''Alepes kleinii'' led Sainsbury to refer to the species as ''Alepes sp.'', with the placement in the genus considered somewhat dubious. The type locality is listed only as Australia.
The common name of the species is related to the small mouth size of the species, with the names banded scad and roundfin trevally used incorrectly, and this is partially due to confusion with ''A. kleinii'', the true banded scad.〔
