Remarks: Notorynchus cepedianus occurs from the Sea of Japan, along the Korean Peninsula, to the Yellow Sea and East China Sea southwards to the Taiwan Strait as far south as Xiamen along the Chinese mainland coast and off the west coast of Taiwan ( Ebert, 1990). It appears to be very rare in fish markets in Taiwan. Ebert (1990) examined the only voucher material in April 1988 and confirmed its identification.

Conservation status: Data Deficient.
