Description
Almaco jack (Seriola rivoliana) is a game fish of the family Carangidae; they are in the same family as yellowtail and amberjack. They feed, both
day and night, on other smaller fish such as baitfish and small squid. The flesh is thick and dense like tuna and can easily pass for white albacore
if prepared as sushi.
The Almaco jack has a less elongated, more flattened body than most jack species. Their dorsal fin and anal fins are elongated, and their outer
edges have a definite sickle shape. The first rays of the Almaco dorsal fin's longest parts are nearly twice as long as the dorsal spines, also
different from other jacks.
They reach a typical length of 90 centimetres (35 in), sometimes reaching 160 centimetres (63 in) and 59.9 kilograms (132 lb).
Almaco jacks are generally dusky-colored with faint amber or olive stripes down their sides. Their upper bodies and lower fins are usually dark
brown or dark blue-green. The belly is much lighter and appears brassy or lavender. The nuchal bar and most of the fins is dark on adults.
Exceptions are the pelvic fins which are white on the ventral sides.

Grijze Horsmakreel
Description
Seriola carpenteri Mather, 1971 is a species of bony fish commonly known as the Guinean amberjack (French: Sériole guinéenne, Spanish:
Medregal de Guinea) which feeds on squids and fishes. It attains a size of at least 48 centimeters (18.9 inches) fork length, and probably attains
a much larger size. Adults are pelagic or epibenthic. Generally confined to areas where surface temperatures exceed 25°C, the species is found
in coastal waters over continental shelf from the surface to at least 200 meters (656.2 feet). Its distribution is along the African coasts from Angola
northward to Cape Verde, Dakar, with single records from near Agadir, Morocco and the Bay of Biscay, perhaps influenced by seasonal
movements of the 18-27°C water mass along the African coast.
The species is named for "William K. Carpenter of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Mr. Carpenter, an outstanding big game fisherman, has long been
President and leading sponsor of the International Game Fish Association. His dedicated support of marine science includes generous financial
contributions and outstanding personal participation in research activities."

Guelly Jack or White trevally, Pseudocaranx dentex, (also known as striped jack) is a jack of the family Carangidae widespread in tropical and
warm temperate areas between 40°N and 47°S, in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has a deep body, and a greenish
colour with metallic overtones and a dark spot above the gills. The fins are yellow. Trevally are strong fighters and the flesh is good to eat if a little
dry. It is often used as cut baits. Maximum size is about 120 cm.
In New Zealand, this trevally is known by the Māori as araara, and is generally confined to waters north of Cook Strait, although it sometimes
reaches as far south as Otago in the summer.

The black jack has a circumtropical distribution, meaning their range extends around the Earth's equatorial oceans, thereby inhabiting the tropical
and subtropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. In the Indian Ocean, they are found from Natal, South Africa[8] in the west to
northern Australia in the east. They are patchily distributed along the east African and Asian coastline in the Indian Ocean, being absent from
both the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, as well as several countries bordering the ocean. The species is widely known from many Indian Ocean
islands including the Seychelles, Réunion, Mauritius and Cargados Carajos In the Pacific Ocean, the black jack is known from parts of the
Indonesian-Australian archipelago north to Japan, and through many of the Pacific Islands such as Hawaii, New Caledonia and Tonga. The
species range in the eastern Pacific has been ranges from Mexico and the Revillagigedo Islands in the north to Costa Rica in the south. In the
western Atlantic Ocean, black jack have been found from North Carolina in the U.S. south to Rio de Janeiro, with the species most common in
the Caribbean and the northern Gulf of Mexico. In the eastern Atlantic, the species has been reported from the Azores, Madeira St. Paul's Rocks,
Ascension Island, and the Gulf of Guinea.
The black jack is a benthopelagic species rarely found in shallow inshore waters, preferring deep, clear offshore waters of depths from 12 to 354
m. The species is most common in insular oceanic habitats and around offshore islands, rarely found close to the continents. The black jack
inhabits deep reefs and reef drop offs, also being common around oceanic seamounts. It has been recorded from lagoons in the Solomon
Islands.
