Seriola, commonly known as amberjacks, are robust, fast-swimming fish found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. They display elongated bodies with a distinct lateral line and a forked tail, often exhibiting a coloration of silver-blue tones with a dark stripe running from nose to dorsal fin.

Seriola, commonly known as amberjacks, are found in the subtropical and tropical regions of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. They are particularly prevalent in the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and around the coasts of Japan and Australia.

Amberjacks typically inhabit open ocean waters but are also found near reefs and rocky substrates. They prefer waters with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F) and are often found at depths ranging from 20 meters to 400 meters.

As predatory fish, amberjacks play a critical role in the marine food web. They feed on smaller fish and invertebrates, often adapting to different prey availability based on their region. They are known for their strong swimming ability and are well-adapted to both pelagic (open ocean) and benthic (near the sea floor) environments.
