Greater Amberjack
Seriola dumerili
The adult is a powerful open-water and reef-associated fish found around wrecks, reefs, drop-offs, and offshore structures in warm seas. It is an active predator that eats fishes, squid, and crustaceans, using speed and strength to overtake prey. Adults are strong swimmers that can travel widely between feeding grounds. A notable fact is that large individuals are among the most forceful jacks encountered by anglers and divers.
