Carangoides bajad

Quite common, this trevally does not exceed 3kg. In Indonesia it is usually solitary, but in Thailand I saw it in schools, mixed with other species like big eye trevally.

Although it is not a catch of the most sought after, it is one of the most beautiful trevallies especially when it displays its entirely gilded pattern. Its silvery pattern is very similar to that of the golden trevally, but the latter has a more elongated body and smaller and fewer gold spots. Between its two patterns, golden and silver, several intermediaries are possible.

It is usually captured through a direct approach, and it’s an easy catch.

Unfortunately, its flesh is not very tasty and I will not recommend it.
