Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This primarily epipelagic species inhabits offshore surface waters; inshore occurrences seem to be more frequent around islands than along the mainland coast (Collette 2002). It is also found in estuaries (Cervigón et al. 1994) and coastal rivers (Pandaré et al. 1997), and sometimes forms large schools (Cervigón et al. 1992). It is carnivorous, and feeds mainly on small fishes (Collette 1995, Collette 2014). The International Game Fish Association all-tackle gamefish record is 4.8 kg for a fish caught in Mozambique in 1997 (IGFA 2009). Its maximum size is 82.5 cm SL/63BL (without beak and caudal fin). Eggs may be found attached to objects in the water by filaments on the eggs surface (Breder and Rosen 1966). Average fecundity is 660 eggs per female (Collette 2014). A summary of early life history data is presented by Collette (2005).
Systems: Marine
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: This species is of minor commercial importance and is caught mainly by casting or trolling surface or near-surface lures; also with seines. It is sometimes caught with the help of artificial lights (Collette 1995). Separate statistics are generally not collected for this species (Collette in prep FAO ECA GUIDE, Collette 2002). Its marketability may be limited due to the green color of its bones (Cervigón et al. 1992). It is of minor commercial importance in the Arabian Gulf where it is collected using casting or trolling surface or near surface lures, seines and driftnets (Collette 1984). Although it is not specifically targeted in West Africa, it regularly appears in the market (L. Tito de Morais pers. comm. 2012). There is no additional utilization information from the Caribbean. It is not a commonly caught species in Gulf of Mexico fisheries.
