Caranx papuensis

The brassy trevally is a reef predator. It resembles the bigeye trevally and especially the Tille trevally but is distinguished by its golden color, its sickle shaped pectoral fin darker at its base and the white edge on the anal fin and the lower lobe of the caudal fin. A white spot at the top of the operculum is also characteristic, even in low visibility conditions.

It is a rather rare catch in Indonesia, but can be locally abundant if the biotope is right.

It tastes similarly to Tille trevally, that is to say average.
