What is the origin of the name? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 10:01, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Sadly, I could find no sources that mention this. Generalissima (talk) 17:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
@Pbsouthwood: Actually, good news: after some digging and help from a Japanese-speaking friend, I found and cited the name's origin. Generalissima (talk) 02:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Pretty short article; I get that there isn't much coverage of it, but after some digging I found some sources covering snorkeling in the region (1), and some scientific papers that mention some of the fish found there (1, 2, 3, 4). Two of these fish have holotypes or lectotypes from the island, so they definitely seem worth mentioning.
Added these to the article. -G
"gravely composition" Think this is supposed to be "gravelly".
Fixed. - G
What's settlement dispersal?
Sediment, my bad. - G
"a size it has largely remained since" sounds weird, maybe "remaining around this size since"?
Good change, fixed. - G
Images are fine. Spot-checked both the English-language sources, AGF-ing on the Japanese one for obvious reasons.
