Lampris australensis, the southern spotted opah, is a large, colorful, deep-bodied pelagic lampriform fish belonging to the family Lampridae, which comprises the genus Lampris.
It is found in the subtropical and warm temperate southern hemisphere.[1]
A review in 2018 found that the widely distributed "L. guttatus" consisted of more than one species, such that several species including L. australensis were then differentiated from L. guttatus.
