Name: Horse-eye jack
Scientific Name: Caranx latus (Agassiz, 1831)
Family: Carangidae
Group: Bony fish
Class: Fish

Size: 51-100 cm.


The naturally curious character of the horse-eye jack frequently leads it to approach divers. This species prefers to live far from the coast and close to coral reefs. However, juveniles may penetrate brackish waters and even rivers to search for their favourite food and escape from predators.
