- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Caranx hippos
- Average Weight: 55 MAX lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The crevalle jack's range consists mainly of the coastal areas of the western Atlantic Ocean from Novia Scotia to Uruguay. They also often are found throughout the Gulf of Mexico, especially along the coast of Texas and the west coast of Florida. The crevalle jack is found in oceanic, estuarine or riverine environments. This is influenced by the life stage of the fish. They primarily are found along the continental shelf, but occur in waters as deep as 327 feet. Fish found in these deep waters are usually larger individuals.
- Biology: The maximum size of a crevalle jack is 39.8 inch and 55.1 pounds, however they are common to 23.6 inches. After the juvenile reaches a size of 1.97 inches, its growth rate increases. Females are typically larger than males.
- Physical Description: The crevalle jack has a body depth of about three times its fork length. It has large eyes. The chest is scaleless except for a small patch of scales in front of the pelvic fins. This patch is apparent by the time the fish reaches a fork length of 0.98 inches. The crevalle jack is the only jack in the western Atlantic Ocean with this patch of scales. There is an oval black spot on the pectoral fins; this appears at about 4.72 inches. Between the seventh and the eighth spines of the adult there is an overgrowth of skin. The two most distinguishable features of this fish are the patch of scales between the pelvic fins and the oval, black spot on the pectoral fins. The crevalle jack is greenish-bluish or bluish-black above and silvery white to yellowish or golden below. This serves to blend in with the water from a predator searching from above, and to blend with the sunlight from a predator hunting from below. There is an oval, black spot on the pectoral fins. Juveniles have 5 dark bars on their bodies. These black bars are present until the fish reaches a size of 6.46 inches. There is an area of dark pigment above the peduncle that appears at 1.18 in. and is very dark once the fish reaches a size greater that 3.94 inches in length.
