African Pompano Descriptions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The African pompano, Alectis ciliaris, (also known as the pennant-fish and threadfin trevally) is a widely distributed species of tropical marine fish in the Jack family, Carangidae. The species is found in tropical waters worldwide, with adults often inhabiting coastlines while juveniles are usually pelagic, floating with ocean currents. The adult African pompano is very similar in appearance to the other members of the genus Alectis, with close examination needed to separate the three. The juveniles, however, are easily identified due to their long, filamentous dorsal and anal fin tips which are thought to discourage predators. The species lives in depths less than 100 m, consuming a range of crustaceans and small fishes. The species is of minor economic importance, often taken amongst other tropical mid water fishes by hook and line while juveniles are occasionally caught in beach seines. African pompano are also highly rated game fish, often considered one of the strongest of the Jacks in larger sizes.
