Caranx heberi
July 26, 2020
The black-tip trevally caranx heberi is a small, very gregarious trevally, occasional in Indonesia.
It can reach a few pounds and like other jacks it is a vigorous fish. Its silhouette is strongly reminiscent of the brassy trevally caranx papuensis and the bigeye trevally caranx sexfasciatus, but it is easily differentiated by its bright yellow tail end with a black spot on the upper lobe.
It is usually taken through a direct approach or agachon, but it is not an easy catch due to its high mobility.
Unfortunately, its meat is not very tasty and I will not recommend it.
