The golden trevally is a sleek, silvery-gold jack with a distinctive blunt head and powerful build, typically seen cruising reef edges and drop-offs in tropical and subtropical waters. These fish often follow larger predators or divers, apparently hoping to benefit from disturbed prey. Solitary individuals or small groups are common, though they can form large schools, and they're strong, fast swimmers that occasionally hunt cooperatively.
