Berry (1959) reported on young Caranx spp. from 

 off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United 

 States and found that C. ruber was most widely dis- 

 tributed, C. fusus most abundant, and C. 

 bartholomaei more restricted both in range of oc- 

 currences and numbers. Our material substantiates 

 these observations. Berry (1959) attributed the scarci- 

 ty of C hippos and C. latus to their tendency to 

 migrate inshore at relatively small sizes (21-50 mm 

 SL). Since our net was quite successful in catching 

 other Caranx species up to these sizes, the scarcity of 

 these two species in our collections must be due to a 

 genuine absence of young in offshore waters. Dooley 

 (1972) caught very few C hippos and no C. latus, thus 

 ruling out the possibility that juveniles of these 

 species may be found in slightly deeper water. 

 Perhaps the major spawning of C. hippos and C. latus 

 occurs in areas to the south of the Florida Straits. Our 

 catches were made off Cape Kennedy and St. Lucie 

 Inlet in water of high salinity (up to 37.5 %o) which 

 indicate a high seas or Gulf Stream origin. 



In numbers of individuals taken at one time, Berry 

 (1959, p. 439) averaged 10 C. fusus per occurrence, 

 highest of all the species. In our collections too, C. 

 fusus was highest, averaging 3.1 per occurrence (Table 

 2). This suggests that C. fusus is a gregarious species.
