2017, [File Photo – Friday, March 10, 2017].<\/figcaption><\/figure>\u201cThe\u00a0Florida pompano<\/b>\u00a0(Trachinotus carolinus<\/i>[2]<\/a><\/sup>) is a\u00a0species<\/a>\u00a0of marine fish in the\u00a0Trachinotus<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(pompano<\/a>)\u00a0genus<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0family\u00a0<\/a>Carangidae<\/a>. It has a compressed body and short\u00a0snout<\/a>; coloration varies from blue-greenish silver on the\u00a0dorsal<\/a>\u00a0areas and silver to yellow on the body and fins.<\/p>\n

It can be found along the western coast of the\u00a0Atlantic Ocean<\/a>, depending on the season, and is popular for both sport and commercial fishing. The\u00a0Florida<\/a>\u00a0city of\u00a0Pompano Beach<\/a>\u00a0is named after the Florida pompano.<\/p>\n

\"Pompano,<\/a>

Most Florida pompano caught weigh less than 3\u00a0lb (1.4\u00a0kg) and are less than 17\u00a0in (43\u00a0cm) long, though the largest individuals weigh 8\u20139\u00a0lb (3.6\u20134.1\u00a0kg) and reach lengths up to 26\u00a0in (66\u00a0cm).<\/p>\n

The different kinds of pompano include African, Cayenne, Florida and Irish. The Florida pompano (T. carolinus<\/i>) is part of the jack family. It is very similar to the\u00a0permit<\/a>\u00a0(Trachinotus falcatus<\/a><\/i>). It has a deeply forked tail and is blue-greenish silver with yellow on the throat, belly, and pelvic and anal fins. The first dorsal fins are low, with about six separate spines. The first spine may be reabsorbed in a larger fish. The second lobes on the dorsal and anal fins have a lower anterior.[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0There are 20-24 anal fin rays. It is a compressed fish with a deep body and a blunt snout.<\/p>\n

The adult Florida pompano is typically found in more saline areas and relatively warm waters (70-89\u00a0\u00b0F), so it migrates northward in the summer, and toward the south in the fall.[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Despite its name, the range of the Florida pompano extends from\u00a0Massachusetts<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Brazil<\/a>, but it is more common in areas near Florida. During the summer, it can be found near Sebastian, Cape Hatteras, and the Gulf of Mexico. It is more common near oil rigs, Palm Beach, and Hobe Sound during the winter. It can also be found near the Virgin Islands year round.<\/p>\n

Its habitat is surf flats, and it tends to stay away from clear water regions, such as the\u00a0Bahamas<\/a>.[7]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Pompanos are very fast swimmers and live in schools. They are bottom feeders. They have very short teeth and feed on zoobenthos and small clams.<\/p>\n

The Pompano is a popular food fish. Chefs like it because the fillets are of even thickness, which aids in cooking. A popular dish created in\u00a0New Orleans<\/a>, called \u201cPompano en papillote,\u201d is wrapped in\u00a0parchment<\/a>\u00a0paper with a white sauce of wine,\u00a0shrimp<\/a>, and\u00a0crabmeat<\/a>, and then steamed.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The pompano\u2019s flesh is oily and looks white and opaque. Its diet yields a rich but mild flavor. Fresh fillets can cost $17 or more.[9]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Demand has encouraged the use of aquaculture to increase supply.<\/p>\n

The pompano supports an important commercial and recreational fishery. Florida pompano are commercially fished in all states on the East Coast from Virginia to Texas, with Florida producing over 90% of the annual harvest. Harvesting occurs mostly along Florida’s western coast, with some harvesting on the eastern coast and in the Banana and Indian Rivers. Between 1994 and 2006, it commanded dockside prices of more than $3 per pound of whole fish weight.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Individually, Florida pompano are caught on light jigs and popping corks. They are very active on the line, testing light\u00a0tackle<\/a>\u00a0beyond what their weight would suggest.[8]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0They bite near\u00a0oil rigs<\/a>\u00a0in the winter.<\/p>\n

From 1997-2000, the fishing mortality rates increased sharply. However, an extensive study by the\u00a0Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission<\/a>\u00a0concluded, as of 2005, the population of Florida pompano was healthy and the\u00a0fishery<\/a>\u00a0was sustainable with current practices.[5]<\/a><\/sup>[8] ” <\/a><\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n

After a fierce storm, Turner Beach, the beach adjoining the Pass, is frequently covered with a bounty of shells from Olives to Fighting Whelks to the more common Conchs. The fishing is also renowned with sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n
