  • Caranx Lugubris (Black Jack)
    UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Caranx lugubris (Black Jack) Family: Carangidae (Jacks and Pompanos) Order: Perciformes (Perch and Allied Fish) Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-finned Fish) Fig. 1. Black jack, Caranx lugubris. [http://marinebio.org/upload/Caranx-lugubris/1.jpg, downloaded 14 February 2016] TRAITS. Being built for speed, Caranx lugubris have a steep sloping head with a body that tapers down to a very narrow tail (Lin and Shao, 1999). The colour of the body and head are almost uniformly greyish-brown to black, they have a deeply forked tail (Fig. 1), and the average body length is around 70cm (Humann, 1989). The teeth of the upper jaw include strong canines, and there are about 8 upper and 18-21 lower gill-rakers on the gill arches. DISTRIBUTION. Caranx lugubris is widely distributed in tropical waters worldwide (Fig. 2), with a circumtropical distribution (Smith-Vaniz, 1986). This includes the waters of the Indian Ocean, Pacific, the Atlantic including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean (Smith-Vaniz et al., 2015). UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. This species of fish lives in offshore waters at depths of 10-350m (Lieske and Myers, 1994). This species is a bentho-pelagic marine fish that dwells in coral reefs, at the edges of reefs and rocks (Carpenter, 2002). They tend to form schools and primarily feed on other fish (Smith-Vaniz et al., 2015). They tend to live in solitude or in schools consisting of up to 30 individuals (Fig.

Introduction The Maldives archipelago lies in the heart of the Indian Ocean approximately 300nm SSW of the southern tip of India. The archipelago comprises approximately 1190 islands lying on a raised oceanic ridge, which is approximately 900km long, and straddles the equator between 00 45.00 0S (Addu atoll) to approximately 07 06.00 0N (Ihavandhippolhu atoll). The chain of atolls is relatively narrow (approximately 150km wide), with the capital Male situated in the centre of the archipelago at N 04 10.000; E 073 32.000. The reefs and islands of the Maldives are entirely comprised of raised reef limestone, built over thousands of years by billions of tiny corals laying down of calcium carbonate. There are 26 major atolls comprising a total of some 1190 islands – all entirely built by corals. Figure 1. Location of the Maldives in the central Indian Ocean (left), and Ari atoll (right) showing the variety of coral reefs found within any one atoll. (Maps by Steve Frampton) The structures these corals have created can broadly be divided into three geo- morphological features: i. Inner atoll reefs – (Thillas, Faros and Giris) Thillas are submerged reefs found in the middle of the atolls – which reach depths of around 80m in the largest lagoons, and rise to between 15 and 5m of the surface.

  • African Pompano Ceviche
    Florida Seafood at Your Fingertips: Live! Michael Sipos, Collier County Agent [email protected], 239-252-4825 Date of recording African Pompano Ceviche What you will need: 1-1½ lbs African pompano (most white flesh seafood could be used as a substitute) ¾-1 cup lime juice (approximately 6-8 limes) ¼ red onion ¼ sweet yellow onion ½-1 jalapeno pepper 1/3 cup cilantro 3 cloves of garlic 1 avocado ½ cucumber 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt A sprinkle of paprika Difficulty of recipe: Simple Total time to make: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes – 3 hours of “cook” time Disclaimer: This dish is “cooked” chemically through the denaturation of protein that occurs when seafood is exposed to the low pH conditions of lime juice. There are certain microbial and parasitic risks when consuming sashimi or ceviche. When consuming potentially raw seafood, the FDA recommends freezing the flesh at -4 F for 7 days prior to preparing to minimize the risk of consuming active parasites. Although these dishes are delicious, special consideration should be taken by at risk health groups if enjoying “raw” seafood. Recipe instructions: 1. Quarter the red and yellow onion and chop to a rough diced texture. 2. Chop cilantro to get approximately 1/3 cup volume with little to no compression. 3. Peel and mince 3 cloves of garlic. 4. Mince ½-1 whole jalapeno pepper depending on desired level of heat. Removing the seeds from the pepper can also greatly reduce the amount of spice tasted in the dish. 5. Halve 1 avocado, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into a cube like consistency.
