Jacks tend to be larger, silvery carnivores that are often popular as food fish, although some species can cause ciguatera poisoning. These pages show most of the ones we see while diving, but there are a number of other species we have not seen but which have shown up in the fish market on Majuro. Unless otherwise noted, sizes given are maximum sizes for the species listed in Fishbase, not necessarily the size of the figured specimen.
