Tille trevally
The tille trevally, ''Caranx tille'' (also known as the tille kingfish), is a species of large marine fish classified in the jack family, Carangidae. The tille trevally is distributed through the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from South Africa in the west to Fiji, Japan and Australia in the east. The species is best distinguished by its rounded, strongly convex anterior profile, with other detailed anatomical features also useful. The tille trevally reaches a maximum length of 80 cm and a weight of 7.2 kg. It is predominantly an inshore species, inhabiting coastal reef and lagoon environments, although has been recorded on deep offshore seamounts. It is a predatory fish, taking various species of fish and crustaceans as prey, with little known of its reproductive cycle. It is of minor importance to fisheries throughout its range, taken by hook and line, gill nets and purse seines. The tille trevally is also considered a good game fish, and an excellent table fish. The species acquired its scientific and common names from a local name used by Pondicherry fishermen, ''koton tille'', which Georges Cuvier then used when he named the species in 1833.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The tille trevally is classified within the genus ''Caranx'', one of a number of groups known as the jacks or trevallies. ''Caranx'' itself is part of the larger jack and horse mackerel family Carangidae, a group of percoid fishes in the order Perciformes.
The species was first scientifically described by Georges Cuvier in 1833 based on the holotype specimen collected from Pondicherry, India. He named the species ''Caranx tille'', with the specific epithet derived from a local name used by fishermen for the species in Pondicherry, ''koton tille''. Cuvier noted that Jean Baptiste Leschenault, who collected the species, expressed doubt over the validity of the new species despite local fishermen identifying it as separate to other trevallies.〔 The species was independently redescribed three times; the first was by Pieter Bleeker in 1851 as ''Caranx cynodon'', the second time by Henry Weed Fowler in 1904 as ''Caranx semisomnus'', and lastly as ''Caranx auriga'' by Alvin Seale in 1910. The latter name caused a specific homonym with ''Caranx auriga'', a name proposed for a different species by Charles Walter De Vis in 1884. To rectify this, William Ogilby proposed the name ''Citula virga'' as a replacement, while Roxas and Martin proposed ''Caranx manilensis''. All these names were soon recognized as synonymous with ''Caranx tille'', and are now considered invalid junior synonyms under ICZN rules.〔
