bright bass, chalk bass, (Serranus lucipercanus, Serranus tortugarum) and sargassum
triggerfish (Xanthychtys ringens). Large groupers, such as the tiger, yellowfin, nassau
and red hind (Mycteroperca tigris, M. venenosa, Epinephelus striatus, E. guttatus) were
sighted. Although not reported by the submersible survey (Nelson and Appeldoorn,
1985), several other species of high commercial value, such as the dog, mutton and
cubera snappers (Lutjanus jocu, L. analis, L. cyanopterus) are known to occur at upperslope habitats.
Pelagic fishes associated with the upper-slope are those typical of shelf-edge reefs,
many of which are large piscivorous predators. These include the mackerels
(Scomberomorus spp.), jacks (Caranx spp., Elagatis bipinnulatus), great barracuda
(Sphyraena barracuda), wahoo (Acanthocibium solanderi), marlins (Makaira nigricans,
Tetrapturus albidus, Istiophorus albicans), tunnas (Thunnus spp.) and sharks
