Greater Amberjack

Greater amberjack appear in significant numbers from spring through autumn, attracted by the strong currents that funnel food past the reef. These fast-moving pelagics hunt cooperatively, herding smaller fish against the reef face before striking. Juveniles shelter within Posidonia meadows before maturing into open-water hunters.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
