Schools are found at the surface, in mid-water and on the bottom and are often associated with reefs and rough bottom (Ref. 9072).  Schools are sometimes mixed with <i>Caranx koheru</i> and <i>Arripis trutta</i> (Ref. 9072).  Feed on plankton by ram-filtering and suction feeding and on bottom invertebrates (Ref. 9072, 30206).  Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 4233).  Cultured only in Japan.  (Ref. 4931).  One of the best table fish 'being indeed the salmon of St. Helena' (Ref. 5288).
