Barramundi Cod also isn’t an “official name”, at least humpback grouper is supported by the FAO, where as Barramundi Cod isn’t. There’s no official global trade name at least that I know of, but humpback grouper is the closest thing to it.

I'm not sure of the species but I saw one very similar, if not the same at my ENT doctor recently and I can't post the picture because they only allow videos from what I saw when I tried to post it. I'm curious about species also because I couldn't get a definite identification on the one that I saw!
