Caranx ignobilis

Also known as Giant Kingfish, Lowly Trevally, Ulua, Barrier Trevally

Dominating tropical reefs as an apex predator, the giant trevally charges through coastal waters using explosive bursts of speed to ambush fish and crustaceans. Some individuals even leap entirely out of the water to snatch low-flying seabirds above shallow reef flats. Their silvery bodies, steep head profiles, and aggressive hunting tactics make them an iconic encounter across the Indo-Pacific.
