Uncertain Placement Jacks & Relatives [Carangaria incertae sedis]

Description

Divers may spot these fish as streamlined, fast-swimming predators that cruise in loose groups near reefs and open water. Because this group is “incertae sedis” (uncertain placement), the exact species can vary, but the underwater vibe is often the same: quick flashes of silver and darting pursuit behavior.
