Taxonomy and naming
The coachwhip trevally is classified within the genus Carangoides, a group of fish commonly called jacks and trevallies. Carangoides falls into the jack and horse mackerel family Carangidae, the Carangidae are part of the order Carangiformes.[3]
The species was first
junior synonyms under ICZN rules, rendering them invalid. The common names applied to the species are descriptive, with the name 'coachwhip trevally' in allusion to the elongated, whip-like dorsal fin lobe.[4]
Description
The coachwhip trevally is a moderately large fish, known to grow to a known maximum length of 46 cm.vertebrae.[6]
The coachwhip trevally is a dusky
olive green
colour above, fading to a silvery white or yellow below with small blue to black blotches present on the dorsal line between the bases of the second
dorsal fin rays. The upper caudal and soft dorsal fins are dusky blue, while the anal fin is yellow having white lobe tips. The pelvic and pectoral fins are yellow. There is a diffuse dark opercular blotch, which may be absent altogether.[7]
Distribution and habitat
The coachwhip trevally is distributed throughout the
South East Asia,[8] Indonesia and northern Australia. In the Pacific its range extends from Papua New Guinea north to Taiwan and Japan and east to New Caledonia and Fiji.[2]
The coachwhip trevally is known to inhabit
estuaries, with this found in surveys around Australia,[7] Fiji[9] and the Solomon Islands.[10] Adults also inhabit estuaries, but adults possibly move into bays and over shallow reefs.[7]
Biology and fishery
The coachwhip trevally has had extremely little information collected regarding its diet, ecological interactions,
trawling and hook and line fisheries.[6]
