The Steel Pompano, scientifically known as Trachinotus stilbe, is a fascinating member of the Jack or Carangidae family. This species is recognized by its distinctly oval shape and strong compression of the body, which is typically about 41% to 45% of its standard length. The Steel Pompano typically sports a dark silver hue that lightens on the sides and belly, and a notable white bar at the rear of the head that tends to fade after the fish is caught. Their fins, especially the caudal fin, have dark margins, adding to their distinctive appearance.
