About

* The American name – there is no current English name, although some early books on British fish give derbio.

Family Carangidae

REMARKS Maximum length 70 cm. Has a much more regular lateral line than the liche, and may also be distinguished by its markedly V-shaped tail and its spots.

This species is a close relation of Trachinotus carolinus, the well-known Florida pompano. The genus is well represented in American and Caribbean waters.
