Etymology
editThe fish is named after "Carolina", the popular name for this fish among Brazilian professional fishermen at St. Paul's Rocks in the eastern Atlantic, but it was shortened to the nickname Cauó because of the first author's elder daughter, Ana Carolina S. R. Carvalho, and pronounced kau-oh. [1]
