''Caesio'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, Fusilier (fish), fusiliers belonging to the Family (biology), family Lutjanidae. They are native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, although one species has invaded the eastern Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal by Lessepsian migration. Taxonomy ''Caesio'' was created in 1801 by the French people, French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède when he Species description, described ''Caesio caerilaurea''. In 1876 the Dutch people, Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''C. caerulaurea'' as the type species of the genus ''Caesio''. The genus name, ''Caesio'', means ”blue”.

Caesio Caerulaurea
''Caesio caerulaurea'', the blue and gold fusilier (not to be confused with Caesio teres), blue fusilier, gold-band fusilier or scissor-tailed fusilier, is a species of marine fish in the family Caesionidae. It is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area, including the Red Sea. Taxonomy ''Caesio caerulaurea'' was first formally described in 1801 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède with the type locality given as Molucca in Indonesia. Lacépède used the name ''Caesio caerulaureus'', although this was later corrected to ''C. caetulaurea'' as ''Caesio'' is feminine, creating a new genus. In 1876 the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''C. caerulaurea'' as the type species of the genus ''Caesio''. The specific name ''caerluaurea'' is a derived from ''caeruleaus'' meaning "sky blue" and ''aureus'' which means "golden", a reference to the blue back and yellow flank stripe Lacépède described.

Fusilier (fish)
Caesionidae, the fusiliers, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes in the order Perciformes. The family includes about 23 species. They are related to the snappers, but adapted for feeding on plankton, rather than on larger prey. They are found at reefs in the Indo-Pacific and in the Red Sea. Taxonomy Caesionidae was named by the French zoologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1831. The family takes its name from the genus ''Caesio'' which was named in 1801 by Bernard Germain de Lacépède, the name derived from ''caesius'' meaning "blue", as the type species of ''Caesio'' is the blue and gold fusilier ('' Caesio caerulaurea''). They are sometimes divided into two subfamilies, the Caesioninae containing the genera ''Caesio'' and ''Pterocaesio'' and the monotypic genera ''Dipterygonotus'' and ''Gymoceasio'' in the Gymnocaesoninae. Some authorities place the fusiliers within the family Lutjanidae, the snappers, even going as far as placing the within the subfamily Lutjaninae ...

Caesio Varilineata
''Caesio varilineata'', the variable-lined fusilier or thin-lined fusilier, is a species of pelagic marine ray-finned fish, a fusilier belonging to the family Caesionidae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Caesio varilineata'' was first formally described in 1987 by the American ichthyologist Kent E. Carpenter with the type locality given as the Persian Gulf. Carpenter placed it in the subgenus ''Caesio''. The specific name is a combination of ''vari-'', meaning "various" and ''lineata'' which means "lined", a reference to the variable number of horizontal, golden stripes on the flanks. Description ''Caesio varilineata'' is a small to medium-sized fish which grows to about long. The eyes are large, the mouth is small and terminal and is protrusible, being able to be extended forward to swallow food. The body is fusiform or spindle-shaped. The caudal fin is deeply forked.

Lessepsian Migration
The Lessepsian migration (or Erythrean invasion) is the migration of marine species along the Suez Canal, usually from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and more rarely in the opposite direction. When the canal was completed in 1869, fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other marine animals and plants were exposed to an artificial passage between the two naturally separate bodies of water, and cross-contamination was made possible between formerly isolated ecosystems. The phenomenon is still occurring today. It is named after Ferdinand de Lesseps, the French diplomat in charge of the canal's construction. The term was coined by Francis Dov Por in his 1978 book. The migration of invasive species through the Suez Canal from the Indo-Pacific region has been facilitated by many factors, both abiotic and anthropogenic, and presents significant implications for the ecological health and economic stability of the contaminated areas; of particular concern is the fisheries industry in t ...

Lutjanidae
Lutjanidae or snappers are a family of perciform fishes, mainly marine but with some members inhabiting estuaries and, in some cases, fresh water (e.g., '' Lutjanus goldiei''). The family includes about 113 species. Most species are used for food and many are of high economic importance. Many species around the world are known in local languages as red snapper, including species from different genera (including Lutjanus and Pristipomoides) Snappers inhabit tropical, subtropical, and warm-temperate regions of all oceans. Some snappers grow up to about in length, and one species, the cubera snapper, grows up to in length. Most are active carnivores, feeding on crustaceans or other fishes, though a few are plankton-feeders. They can be kept in aquaria, but commonly grow too fast to be popular aquarium fish. Most species live at depths reaching near coral reefs, but some species are found up to deep. As with other fishes, some snapper species host parasites. A detailed st ...

Ichthyologist
Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to FishBase, 35,800 species of fish had been described as of March 2025, with approximately 250 new species described each year. Etymology The word is derived from the Ancient Greek words wikt:ἰχθύς, ἰχθύς, ''ikhthus'', meaning "fish"; and wikt:-λόγος, λόγος, ''logos'', meaning "study". History The study of fish dates from the Upper Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic Revolution (with the advent of "high culture"). The science of ichthyology was developed in several interconnecting epochs, each with various significant advancements. The study of fish receives its origins from humans' desire to feed, clothe, and equip themselves with useful implements. According to Michael Barton (professor), Michael Barton, a prominent ichthyologist and professor at Centre College, "the earliest ichthy ...
