“The\u00a0Atlantic tripletail<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0tripletail<\/b>\u00a0(Lobotes surinamensis<\/i>) is a warm-water marine fish found across the tropics; it can grow to 90\u00a0cm long and weigh 18\u00a0kg. It is also known by fishermen by names like\u00a0flasher<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0steamboat<\/b>.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Young fishes float on their sides, often beside flotsam, and appear like a dry leaf.[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0In Indonesia, the local name is called KakapHitam\/Laut or similar as Black Barramundi which is commonly consumed by its similar appearance as Lates calcifiers-Barramundi.<\/p>\n

Tripletails are well known for their unusual behavior of floating just beneath the surface with one side exposed, mimicking a leaf or floating debris. This is thought to be a feeding strategy because of the locality of their prey items and the floating structures associated with this behavior.[4]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The behavior has resulted in a rapidly increasing incidence of recreational fishermen sight-fishing for the floating tripletails, resulting in severe bag and length restrictions in Florida and Georgia to ensure future populations.[5]”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/a><\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n
