Giant Trevally - Caranx ignobilis


Giant Trevally are deep bodied, bluish-silver to almost black, sometimes with a yellow hue. Their sides are yellowish silver and they have a small oval-shaped patch of tiny scales on the breast. The upper sides may be covered by a scattering of small black dots. They have a steep head profile and strong scutes along the rear lateral line. There is no black blotch at the base of the pectoral fin.

Juveniles are silvery green on the back with a silver to gold belly and their soft dorsal, anal and tail fins are pale yellow.

Giant Trevally can reach weights of 63kgs and 1.5 metres.

Small GTs are good eating but over 10kg are poor tasting.

In Australia Giant Trevally are found from the central coast of WA, around the tropical north and south to NSW central coast.
