A mature male giant trevally showing the black colouration common in these older fish. The giant trevally is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Bay of Bengal and Indian and Pacific Oceans, ranging along the coasts of three continents and many hundreds of smaller islands and archipelagos.

After observing the 5-foot long eel, Jeremy concludes that the many attacks in Fiji were the work of both fish: the giant trevally at the river mouth and coastal regions, and the giant mottled eel in the inland sections. He also concludes that these fish were both practising their very easily agitated defensive behaviours.
The bigeye trevally is commonly found in large slow moving schools during the day, becoming active at night when it feeds, taking a variety of fish, crustaceans, cephalopods and other invertebrates. The fish is known to move from a more crustacean dominated diet as a juvenile to a nearly completely fish dominated diet as an adult.
On "River Monsters," Jeremy Wade traveled to South America to investigate where a Bolivian man named Oscar was killed when face was ripped off while swimming across the South American River.
The protruding lower jaw is characteristic of the longrakered trevally. The longrakered trevally is a large fish, reported to reach 1m in length, however is commonly seen at lengths below 60 cm. [9] The longrakered trevally has a body shape typical of many trevallies in the genera Carangoides and Caranx, having a compressed oblong body, with the convexity of the forehead increasing with age.
The golden trevally is a relatively large fish, growing to a maximum recorded size of 120 cm (47 in) in length [12] and 15.0 kg in weight. [19] It is similar to most other trevallies and jacks in having a compressed, oblong body, with the dorsal profile slightly more convex than the ventral profile, particularly anteriorly . [ 15 ]
A recent study in the Journal of Great Lakes Research shed light on the growing problem of goldfish proliferating outside of the proverbial fish bowl.
Three months later, at Dharma Ghat, a young boy was pulled underwater in front of his father, who watched helplessly. No corpse was ever found. The final attack occurred in 2007 when an 18-year-old Nepalese man disappeared in the river, dragged down by something described as a mud-colored "water pig". [citation needed]
