Description: An elongated fish with two dorsal fins and a pointed snout. The fish is silver in color with darker shades of grey on the back. Black spots are distributed throughout the back. This is a traditional tropical marine sport fish, described as a table favorite.

Natural Ecology: Spotted seatrout is a carnivore of fish and invertebrates.

Indigenous To: The Atlantic coast of North America, from New York to Florida and Gulf of Mexico.

Behavior: This species is not aggressive, but is a predator. Relatively solitary individuals.

Compatability: Usually ignores corals, but will eat fishes and crustaceans. Also grows large, with an output of dissolved wastes that puts a burden on water quality maintenance.
