Dense schools of glassfish congregate in the lee of the wreck structure, forming shimmering translucent curtains in the filtered light. Their near-transparent bodies make individual fish almost invisible, giving the school an eerie collective shimmer. The aggregations attract jacks and larger predators that make occasional high-speed passes through the baitball.

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.
