Ecology of Seriola rivoliana
 
Main Ref. Honebrink, R., 1990
Remarks Inhabits outer reef slopes and offshore banks to 160 m or more (Ref. 26235); also found in coral reefs (Ref. 58534). Adults are pelagic and demersal (Ref. 9283). Young often seen around floating objects (Ref. 4887, 48635). Feeds mainly on fishes, but also on invertebrates. Piscivore (Refs. 57615, 127989). Macro-carnivore (Ref. 126840).
