Young grey triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) tend to aggregate under floating debris. These animals were once considered relatively rare in the Mediterranean Sea, but we see them with increasing frequeny in recent years. The grey triggerfish is a member of the Balistes family. It normally reaches about 2 kg in weight.
