The circumtropical Glasseye,
Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (Lacepede 1801), can be found most
anywhere seawater is warm on the planet. It grows to a maximum of one
foot in length. Wakatobi, S. Sulawesi, Indo. pic. |

My favorite of the family is the handsomely red,
Crescent-Tail Bigeye, Priacanthus hamrur (Forsskal 1775),
widely taken in the Pacific to the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Be
aware that this fish can get to eighteen inches long; feed
sparingly. Mauritius image. |

Of species occasionally available, the Short
Bigeye, Pristigenys alta (Gill 1862), makes its way up to
Jersey shores and can be hand-net collected there or purchased
from Caribbean points southward. Tropical west Atlantic. To a
foot in length. 100-660 feet |
|
Pristigenys serrula (Gilbert 1891), the
Popeye Catalufa. Eastern Pacific; Monterey to Peru. To thirteen
inches in length. Nocturnal, hides during the day as the
Cardinalfishes, Squirrelfishes. This one at the Denver Aquarium,
Colorado. |
