Description
The White-spot Trevally is a large, predatory marine fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific. It is characterized by its silvery body, often with faint white spots, and a deep, compressed body shape. Due to its significant adult size and active nature, it is primarily suited for very large public aquariums.
