- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Albula vulpes
- Average Weight: 6 - 7 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Bonefish inhabit tropical and warm temperate waters, Although western Atlantic bonefish are occasionally taken as far north as North Carolina, New York, and New Brunswick, this species is most plentiful in south Florida, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. To the south, they range throughout the Caribbean Sea to Brazil. On the eastern Pacific coast, the bonefish occurs from San Francisco Bay, California, south to Peru and west to Hawaii.
- Biology: It is a bottom dweller of shallow, sandy areas where it feeds on crabs, shrimp, and worms. In the Caribbean Sea and western Atlantic Ocean, the bonefish reaches a maximum length of about 31 inches and a weight of 13 or 14 pounds. Floridian and Bahamian fish often range from 4-6 pounds, with fish over 8 pounds regarded as large. However, bonefish taken from Africa and Hawaii may attain weights over 20 pounds. Bonefish reach sexual maturity between 3 and 4 years of age, at which point they are typically between 17 and 19 inches in length. Bonefish may live in excess of 19 years.
- Physical Description: The bonefish is silvery in color, with a long, deeply forked tail and a single dorsal fin; it has a pointed head covered by a thick, transparent cartilage and a receding mouth filled with numerous small rounded teeth.The bonefish has an inferior mouth with a conical nose that protrudes a third of its length beyond the mandible. The body is slender, round, and compressed, more so in large specimens than in young adults. The dorsal profile is more convex than the ventral profile. The first few rays of the dorsal fin are higher than the following rays and this lends a somewhat triangular shape to the dorsal fin when erect. The caudal fin is deeply forked, with the upper lobe slightly larger than the lower.
