The amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is a large saltwater fish native to nearly all warm waters of both hemispheres. It prefers near-shore drop offs and rocky ledges or reefs where it feeds on fish, crustaceans and molluscs. It can grow to some 2 meters in length and is characterized by an amber colored stripe which runs along the side of its body. It is a very popular sportfish due to its size and stamina.
