The Horse-Eye Jack is a West Indian species which reaches 

 as far south as Brazil. It is common on the east coast of 

 Panama. It is found along the coasts of the south Atlantic 

 states and occasionally as far north as Chesapeake Bay. 



Threadfish 

 Alectis crinitus (Mitchill) 



The Threadfish is a warm-water species found on both 

 coasts of tropical America. It is found as a stray com- 

 monly as far north as Cape Cod. For a long time this fish 

 was considered a different species from the Cuban jack, 

 but recent findings indicate that it is the young of the 

 Cuban jack. Specimens taken north of Cape Hatteras are 

 usually less than 8 inches long.
