The crevalle jack is a powerful, predatory fish, with extensive studies showing the species consumes a variety of small fish, with invertebrates such as prawns, shrimps, crabs, molluscs and cephalopods also of minor importance. Dietary shifts with both age, location and season have been demonstrated, which led some researchers to postulate the ...
The Pacific crevalle jack is a relatively large fish, growing to a maximum recorded size of 101.6 cm in length and 19.7 kg in weight. [3] It is similar to most other jacks of the genus Caranx , having a moderately deep and compressed, oblong body, with the dorsal profile more convex than the ventral profile, particularly anteriorly .

The longfin crevalle jack (Caranx fischeri) is a recently described species of large marine fish classified in the jack family, Carangidae.It inhabits the subtropical waters of the east Atlantic Ocean, ranging along the African coast from Mauritania south at least to Moçamedes in southern Angola, with the species historically present in the Mediterranean Sea.
The latter of these names once again highlighted the similarity with the crevalle jack, with the epithet hippoides essentially meaning "like Carangus hippos", [9] which was the crevalle jack's Latin name at that time. Despite the resemblance with the crevalle jack, the two species have never been phylogenetically compared, either ...
The bluefin trevally is a large fish, growing to a maximum known length of 117 cm and a weight of 43.5 kg, [2] however it is rare at lengths greater than 80 cm. [8] It is similar in shape to a number of other large jacks and trevallies, having an oblong, compressed body with the dorsal profile slightly more convex than the ventral profile, particularly anteriorly.
Jack crevalles are big and aggressive fish, but Nicholas Fano, 12, of Palm City, Florida won a tough fight to set two IGFA world records. 12-year-old fisher sets two world records after catching a ...
Caranx was created by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1801 to accommodate a new species he had described, Caranx carangua (the crevalle jack), which was later found to be a junior synonym of Scomber hippos, which in turn was transferred to Caranx. [6]
The Carangidae are a family of ray-finned fish that includes the jacks, pompanos, jack mackerels, runners, trevallies, and scads. It is the largest of the six families included within the order Carangiformes. Some authorities classify it as the only family within that order but molecular and anatomical studies indicate that there is a close ...
