LOCATION: Mainly tropical and subtropical marine waters of the Indo-Pacific and other oceanic regions, depending on the species.
HABITAT: Marine fishes associated with coastal waters, coral and rocky reefs, reef slopes, lagoons and open ocean areas, depending on species.
SIZE: Varies greatly by species. Published sizes range from relatively small species around 29 cm to much larger carangids. A single genus-level weight range is not reliable.
DIET: Generally carnivorous, feeding on smaller fishes and marine invertebrates.
FACT: Carangoides belongs to the Carangidae family, which includes jacks, trevallies and pompanos. Modern taxonomic revisions have moved several former Carangoides species into other genera.
