(zoology) Any fish belonging to the family Carangidae, the jackfish..
The total catch in 1976 was probably about 3.5 million tons and was mainly composed of pelagic species such as sardines, mackerels and various carangids.
Carangids occur in a variety of habitats: coral and rocky reefs, in the surf along sandy beaches, and in estuaries.[…]Most carangids are swift predators, and the larger species are prized as sport fish and for their excellent eating qualities.
Carangids may use DMSP as a cue to locate productive areas for foraging. Carangids generally feed on smaller fish, shrimps, and other invertebrates (Böhlke and Chaplin 1993).
