GREATER AMBERJACK

Kampachi
A common roving predator of deep reefs. Brown above with
a yellow lateral stripe and dark
diagonal bar through the eyes. Feeds heavily on reef fish and
frequently implicated in cases of ciguatera poisoning, therefore only
juveniles should be eaten. Large fish tend to have rubbery flesh
riddled with parasitic worms. Attains 6 feet and at least 150 pounds. Worldwide in warm seas. |
