Description: Occurs in bays and coastal waters, including estuaries (Ref. 9563). Forms schools (Ref. 4887) which are sometimes mixed with other species such as @Caranx koheru@ and @Arripis trutta trutta@ (Ref. 9072). Schools are found at the surface, in mid-water and on the bottom and are often associated with reefs and rough bottom (Ref. 9072). Commercially cultured in Japan. One of the best table fish 'being indeed the salmon of St. Helena' (Ref. 5288). On the bottom it feeds on a wide range of invertebrates. Surface schooling fish prey on plankton, particularly euphausids (Ref. 9072). [details] Habitat: Known from seamounts and knolls [details] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
