Pseudocaranx is a genus of ray-finned fishes from the family Carangidae, the jacks, trevallies, scads, and pompanos. They occur in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific.[3]
Species
Four recognized species are placed in this genus:[3]
- Pseudocaranx chilensis (Guichenot, 1848) (Juan Fernandez trevally)
- Pseudocaranx dentex (Bloch & J. G. Schneider, 1801) (white trevally)
- Pseudocaranx dinjerra Smith-Vaniz & Jelks, 2006
- Pseudocaranx wrighti (Whitley, 1931) (skipjack trevally)
Fishbase does not treat Pseudocaranx georgianus as a valid species, treating it as a junior synonym of P. dentex, but notes that many other authorities treat it as a valid species.[4] Catalog of Fishes and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species treat it as a valid species.[5][6]
