coachwhip trevally
The coachwhip trevally, ''Carangoides oblongus'' (also known as the oblong trevally and oblique-banded trevally) is a species of inshore marine fish classified in the jack family Carangidae. The coachwhip trevally is distributed through the Indo-west Pacific region, ranging from South Africa in the west to Fiji and Japan in the east. It is a moderately large fish, growing to a known maximum length of 46 cm and can be distinguished from similar species by an array of detailed morphological features including dentition, fin ray counts and scale patterns. The coachwhip trevally inhabits coastal waters throughout its range, known to prefer estuarine waters in a number of localities. Nothing is known of its diet or reproductive biology, and is of little importance to fisheries, occasionally taken as bycatch in trawl and hook and line fisheries.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The coachwhip trevally is classified within the genus ''Carangoides'', a group of fish commonly called jacks and trevallies. ''Carangoides'' falls into the jack and horse mackerel family Carangidae, itself part the order Perciformes, in the suborder Percoidei.
The species was first scientifically described by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1833 based on a specimen taken from the waters of New Guinea which was designated to be the holotype.〔 〕 Cuvier named this new species ''Caranx oblongus'', placing it in a related genus of jacks with the specific epithet meaning 'oblong' in reference to the species shape. Over time, it was reclassified first into the now invalid genus ''Carangichthys'' and finally into ''Carangoides'' where it has remained. The species was also independently redescribed and classified several times, first as ''Caranx auriga'' by Charles De Vis, ''Citula gracilis'' by William Ogilby and as ''Caranx tanakai'' by Yojiro Wakiya. These names all were applied after Cuvier's initial, correct naming making them junior synonyms under ICZN rules, rendering them invalid. The common names applied to the species are descriptive, with the name 'coachwhip trevally' in allusion to the elongated, whip-like dorsal fin lobe.〔
