Overview

Found in schools, sometimes mixed with others, patrolling around coral heads, over muddy bays, lagoons and coastal reef slopes.
Juveniles found over sheltered bays.

Jacks are fast swimming fish that can roam over great distances. The larger fish hunt other fish and the smaller fish eat Zooplankton. In turn they are hunted by large Tuna and Dolphins.
