Horse-eye Jack

Aspect:	Silvery with often somewhat parched skin near head, "tuna-shaped" body.
Population:	Abundant.
Notable feature:	Large dark eyes, and arguably out-of-place bright yellow fin. A dark serrated strake runs from mid-body to tail base.
Environment:	Usually found in open waters, often as part of large schools. At Ilets Pigeon, Horse-eye Jacks are usually found at a specific site that carries their name in French: Pointe des Carangues. Large schools of Atlantic Spadefish are also found around this spot, but strangely never with Horseye Jacks.
Behaviour:	Ignores divers, always looks busy.
