Carangoides ferdau

The blue trevally is a gregarious species occasionally encountered, especially in eastern Indonesia near sandy areas.

It can reach a few pounds which makes it coveted.

When alive, it is strongly striped vertically which combined with its round shape, makes it difficult to confuse with another species. However, the stripes disappear afterwards.

One can usually dive directly on it, and it’s an easy catch.

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