Caranx sexfasciatus Quoy & Gaimard 1825
Description
Caranx sexfasciatus Quoy & Gaimard, 1825.
Bigeye Crevalle, Bigeye Trevally, or Sixband Jack. To 120 cm (47.2 in) TL (Sadovy and Cornish 2000). Indo-Pacific; western Pacific Ocean north to southern Japan (Senou in Nakabo 2002); San Diego Bay, southern California (Lea and Walker 1995) to northern Peru (Robertson and Allen 2015), including lower Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2002) and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Marine, brackish, and fresh waters (Fricke et al. 2020); depth: 1–146 m (3–479 ft) (min.: González-Acosta et al. 1999; max.: Myers 1999). Morera et al. (20019) report on a capture at a depth of 1,345 m (4,412 ft), however this capture was made in a bottom trawl and the fish may have been captured in midwaters during deployment or retrieval. A hybrid of this species and Caranx melampygus Cuvier, 1833 was taken off Panama (Angulo et al. 2020).
