The pink maomao (Caprodon longimanus), also known as the longfin perch, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a member of the subfamily Anthiinae which is part of the grouper and sea bass family Serranidae. It is found in the southern Pacific and the southeastern Indian Ocean.

Description

The pink maomao has long and pointed pectoral fins,^[3] longer than the head, a long based dorsal fin and a caudal fin which is slightly forked.^[4] The dorsal fin has 10 spines and 19-21 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 7-9 soft rays. In specimens from the eastern specific there are 58-65 scales in the lateral line while in specimens from the western Pacific there are 61-71 lateral line scales.^[2] The females are an overall mauvish pink colour whil the males are a similar colour but may show blackish blotches on the back and upper flanks and on the dorsal fin and males also have yellowish dorsal, caudal, anal and pelvic fins.^[3] The maximum recorded fork length is 55 centimetres (22 in)^[2] but they are more commonly recorded at fork lengths pf 28–30 centimetres (11–12 in) and they normally weigh around 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) but can reach 2 kilograms (4.4 lb).^[5]
