The goldband fusilier was first formally described as Caesio chryszona in 1830 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier with the type locality given as "Archipel des Indes", i.e. Indonesia. [3] In his 1987 review of the Caesionidae, Kent E. Carpenter placed this species within the subgenus Pisinnicaesio, [4] of which it is the type species. [5]
The double-lined fusilier is found in the Western Pacific Ocean where it occurs from Indonesia, Western Australia and New Caledonia to southern Japan. It has also been recorded off Norfolk Island and in Tonga. The record from Réunion is probably a mis-identified Pterocaesio marri. It occurs in coastal waters at depths down to 50 m (160 ft ...
Caesionidae was named by the French zoologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1831. [1] 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).

The yellowback fusilier (Caesio xanthonota) is a pelagic marine ray-finned fish, a fusilier belonging to the family Caesionidae. It is native to the tropical Indo-Pacific, being found in shallow water from the East African coast to Indonesia.
The dark-banded fusilier was first formally described as Caesio tile in 1830 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier with the type locality given as the Caroline Islands. [3] When the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker described Pterocaesio as a new genus in 1876 he used Caesio multiradiatus, a species described by the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner in 1861, as the type species.
Caesio caerulaurea is an important quarry for coastal fisheries, and is frequently recorded in fish markets in Indonesia and the Philippines. They are caught using drive-in nets, gill nets, fish traps, trawls and handlines. The juveniles are used as tuna baitfish in some areas. It is normally caught as part of a multispecies catches of fusiliers.
