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.

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.
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.
A man-eating animal or man-eater is an individual animal or being that preys on humans as a pattern of hunting behavior. This does not include the scavenging of corpses, a single attack born of opportunity or desperate hunger, or the incidental eating of a human that the animal has killed in self-defense.
Found in the open sea, sandy lagoons and rocky areas. Like other carangues, it can be caught by trailing an empty hook (which the fish mistakes for a small moving sea creature!) Piscivorous 50 cm. Commercial fish Giant trevally (Carangue grande face) Flattened body, with a somewhat bulging head. Dark yellow to silver above, silvery below.
A giant species of fish that was first discovered seven years ago washed ashore in Oregon last week, according to marine biologists who study the animal.
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.
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 ...
