Species that frequent the area include surgeonfish, triggerfish (Balistidae), small
carangids, porcupinefish, sea chubs, goatfish, parrotfish and puffers.
However, residents tend to target groupers, snappers, and
carangids preferentially.
Despite these differences, all estimates are well within the range of M reported in other genera of
carangids (Froese & Pauly 2010): Carangoides (0.15-1.40/year), Caranx (0.34-0.58/year), Decapterus (1.40-2.02/year), Megalaspis (0.39-1.36/year), Selarioides (1.46/year), Seriola (0.50-0.94/year), and Trachurus (0.49-1.36/year).
(2012) Fishery and population dynamics of two species of
carangids, Decapterus russelli (Ruppell, 1830) and Megalaspis cordyla (Linneaeus, 1758) from Mumbai waters.
A number of authors have investigated the morphometry, length-weight relationship, population dynamics and biology of
carangid species (Sivakami, 1995; Kasim, 1996; Zafar et al., 2000; Saker et al., 2004; Panda et al., 2012; Panhwar et al., 2014; Qamar et al., 2015).
Caranx caballus, a new immigrant
carangid fish to the Hawaiian Islands from the tropical eastern Pacific.
The contribution of Megalaspis among
carangids was 24.16% while within the finfish resources of 1.63% was recorded in 2009, whereas its highest landing (9722mt) was recorded in 2001 and the lowest (3559mt) in 2008 (MFD, 2012).
During the post monsoon, summer and premonsoon seasons the
carangid eggs were more in number and they were collected in all the stations, as already reported during May to June from Coleroon estuary (11).

In general,
carangid are pelagic species considered to be piscivorous.
While two
carangid species (yellowtail jack [Seriola lalandi] and jack mackerel [Trachurus symmetricus]) are common to the Southern California Bight, Lea and Walker (1995) noted the record of 12 novel
carangid species collected within southern California.
