Description
African Pompano’s body is deep, strongly compressed, diamond-shaped in juvenile and becoming more elongated with growth. The African Pompano can grow up to 150 cm in total length. It has a rounded profile from the forehead to the nape. The juvenile has very long and filamentous soft rays in the anal fins. There is a strong and straight part of the lateral line, with 8 to 30 scutes on the posterior section. This species occurs in coastal waters and feeds mainly on fishes and small crustaceans (Fishbase, n.d.).
