The bigeye is found throughout the Caribbean, usually at depths greater than 50 feet and often occurring in small schools. |
At Uvinge Gap and Mesali Gap can be found deep-water drop-offs, home to schools of bigeye jacks, barracuda, giant sweetlips and groupers. |
Tagging of sister taxa such as the bigeye and yellowfin tunas have resulted in similar success. |
Yellowfin and bigeye tuna are graded on the same criteria but not with the same intensity. |
We passed small shoals of bigeye snapper, masked angelfish and a couple of colourful groupers on our way to a garden of gorgonians. |
It says bigeye tuna is slow-growing and more vulnerable to exploitation than skipjack and yellowfin tuna. |
