Giant Fish of Florida 
SILVER Moon FIsH oR Look Down (Selene vomer) 
This eccentric-looking fish is of a beautiful mother-of- 
pearl tint, and the long ray of the dorsal fin shows the subject 
of the photograph to be a young fish, for this long growth is 
shed at a more mature age. The moon fish makes capital bait 
for tarpon and other large fish, and the wonder is, indeed, 
that such a species can survive at all, for it is to all appearance 
both defenceless and slow in its movements.
