Selene setapinnis

provided by wikipedia EN

Selene setapinnis, the Atlantic moonfish, is a West Atlantic fish belonging to the family Carangidae.

Description

The Atlantic moonfish is a slender, deep bodied fish that is extremely compressed. It has a dorsal fin with 8 spines, and an anal fin with 2 spines. They also have 21 dorsal soft rays and 17 anal soft rays. The upper jaw is short and lower jaw is protruding, extending longer than the upper jaw. They have a sloped, bent forehead and rather large eyes. They have a forked caudal fin that is attached to a large and hard caudal peduncle. The Atlantic moonfish have a faint spot on the base of their pectoral fins. They have a silvery or metallic blue color with a yellowish caudal fin. The dorsal and caudal peduncle regions are lined with a dark edging.

Diet

Adults feed on small fish and crustaceans.

Habitat

Atlantic moonfish can be found in schools at the bottoms of inshore waters. Juveniles can be found on muddy bottoms of brackish waters. Their depth range is 0–55 m, and they prefer subtropical regions.

Distribution

Western Atlantic: Nova Scotia, Canada, along coasts of Gulf of Mexico and South America, Argentina. Replaced by Selene dorsalis in eastern Atlantic.

Naming and etymology

Selene setapinnis was formally described by the American ichthyologist Samuel L. Mitchill as Zeus setapinnis in 1815 with the type locality given as the Bay of New York, New York, U.S.A.[3] The generic name Selene is from the Greek for "moon", referring to the vague moon-shape of S. vomer while the specific name is a compound of seta meaning "bristle" and pinnis meaning "fin" and refers to the bristle-like points of the dorsal fin and the anal fin.[4]

Atlantische maanvis ( Dutch; Flemish )

provided by wikipedia NL

Vissen

De (Atlantische) maanvis (Selene setapinnis) is een straalvinnige vis uit de familie van horsmakrelen (Carangidae) en behoort derhalve tot de orde van baarsachtigen (Perciformes). De vis kan maximaal 60 cm lang en 4600 gram zwaar worden.

Leefomgeving

De Atlantische maanvis komt in zeewater en brak water voor. De vis prefereert een subtropisch klimaat en leeft hoofdzakelijk in de Atlantische Oceaan. De diepteverspreiding is 0 tot 55 m onder het wateroppervlak.

Relatie tot de mens

De Atlantische maanvis is voor de visserij van groot commercieel belang. In de hengelsport wordt er weinig op de vis gejaagd. De soort kan worden bezichtigd in sommige openbare aquaria.

Voor de mens is de Atlantische maanvis potentieel gevaarlijk, omdat er vermeldingen van ciguatera-vergiftiging zijn geweest.
