Greater Amberjack

Seriola dumerili

Sighting evidence at USS Tarpon, North Carolina

Greater amberjack are permanent residents of USS Tarpon, schooling in tight formations around the conning tower and stern gun. As apex predators in the mid-water column they regulate populations of smaller reef fish, and their bold curiosity means they frequently approach and escort divers throughout a dive. They can reach over 60 kg and live for more than 15 years, with the largest individuals found on deep offshore wrecks like this one.

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.
