Horse-Eye Jack

The Horse-Eye Jack has a body that is bluish‑gray above and silvery‑white below, and it has large, round eyes. Its body is deep and compressed, with a high arch in its back and a straight underside. It has a yellow tail, and the upper and lower lobes of its tail fin, along with its dorsal fin, typically have dark tips. The fins are amber or dusky, and there is a small black spot on the upper edge of its gill cover

This Jack can be seen in large schools in open water, around wrecks, or in small groups in shallow sandy areas. They primarily hunt smaller fish, shrimp, and other invertebrates. Juveniles often stay in sheltered coastal areas where they can find food and protection. Although generally cautious, they sometimes come near, drawn by exhaled bubbles.
