Black ruffCentrolophus – This species/genus has multiple vernacular names that are in common use. Worse, the "official" name recognized by FAO is "rudderfish", while AFS uses "black ruff" (see FishBase). Among the common reliable sources that we use, FishBase uses "rudderfish" while IUCN gives that name first but also recognizes "black ruff" and "blackfish". This seems to be a classic case of widespread species with different naming traditions in different parts of its range, and thus a case where the scientific name should be used. As a monotypic genus, the article shoud be under the genus name. Micromesistius (talk) 10:27, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
