Amberjack Identification

Introduction

Today I wanted to touch on amberjack identification, specifically, how to properly ID them. Amberjack identification is not the easiest task in the fish world, but with a little practice you shouldn’t have any problems. from here on out include: the Greater Amberjack, Seriola dumerili, the Almaco Jack, Seriola rivoliana, the Banded Rudderfish, Seriola zonata, and the Lesser Amberjack, Seriola fasciata. Although there are 9 fishes in the genus Seriola, these four fishes are the only resident amberjacks present along the eastern coast of the US.
