Atlantic tripletail Lobotes surinamensis



An unusual encounter: the Atlantic tripletail Lobotes surinamensis. This large individual was hiding under a floating plastic sheet drifting offshore, in the company of juvenile greater amberjack Seriola dumerili and horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus.

Thank you Patrick Louisy for identification of the tripletail.
