Tarpon Tarpon
are large, silvery fishes with a darker, greenish back. Their
known range is from Nova Scotia to Brazil. Tarpon
in the 34kg to 59kg class are frequent. Though usually slow and
cunning, tarpon are voracious fish eaters. They lumber lazily in
their forage areas, but strike like lighting when the prey is
chosen. |
| Relatively little is known of the life history of the tarpon. The species spawns offshore in late spring and summer, and the larvae move into less salty or fresh water. | |
