Remark: <i>Sphyraena nigripinnis</i> Temminck & Schlegel, 1843 considered as valid in CofF (ref. 118474).
Comments: Found near current-swept lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Feeds on fishes (Ref. 89972). Usually seen in large semi-stationary schools during the day (Ref. 9768) which have a tendency to occupy the same site for months or even years at a time.  Probably disperses at night to feed (Ref. 1602).  Often hooked by trolling between dusk and dawn (Ref. 37816).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
