Early development of five carangid fishes of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Coast of the United States.
Some 14 varieties are commercially harvested from the Gulf, among them the silvery or golden yellow Talang queenfish (50 to 100 cm) and the Golden toothless crevally (a relatively large carangid that can exceed one meter in length).
Dentition has been used as an important diagnostic character of carangid genera, but comparison of the dentition of a large number of carangid species reveals an almost complete continuum of dentition types that in some cases does not agree with traditional generic assignments.
