Tarpon Totally Explained

Everything about The Tarpon totally explained

The tarpons (Spanish: sábalos) are large coastal fish prized by anglers. They grow up to 8 feet in length and sometimes weigh 200 pounds. When swimming in oxygen-poor water, tarpons can breathe air from the surface. There are two species in a single genus Megalops in the family Megalopidae, one native to the Atlantic, and the other to the Indo-Pacific oceans.
The genus name derives from the Greek adjective megalo meaning 'large', and the noun opsi, meaning 'face'.

Species

Indo-Pacific tarpon, Megalops cyprinoides, a lesser-known and smaller fish.
