Description
Japanese Amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) is a medium-sized schooling pelagic predatory fish of the Carangidae family, also known as Yellowtail. It inhabits open and coastal waters of Japan, Korea, Taiwan. This fish can reach up to 40 kilograms (88 lbs) in weight and 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length. It feeds on small schooling fish in all layers of water. During the day it tends to stay at a greater depth than at night. Yellowtail is highly valued in Japan as a fish for sushi and sashimi, as well as for canning. Japanese Amberjack is often caught as a bycatch during bottom fishing, and can also be caught with trolling or casting. It responds well to fast retrieval with strong and frequent tossing of the bait in the water.
