Trevally fish, known for their agility and strength, have a varied diet that reflects their position in the marine food web. They primarily feed on smaller fish, cephalopods such as squids and octopuses, and crustaceans. These powerful swimmers often hunt in schools, employing cooperative techniques to herd and trap their prey, showcasing not only their predatory skills but also their complex social behaviors. They are known to follow a diurnal feeding routine, actively hunting during the day and resting during the night. They are frequently observed using the cover of the reef to ambush prey, taking advantage of the rich and diverse environment that coral ecosystems provide.
