The shortjaw leatherjacket (Oligoplites refulgens), also known as the slender leatherjacket, is a marine ray-finned fish from the family Carangidae which is native to the eastern Pacific, where it is found from Mexico to Ecuador.[2] It is a pelagic species found close to shore, to depths of 30 metres (98 ft), which can withstand water of low salinity and which can enter estuaries temporarily.[1] This species was formally described in 1904 by Charles Henry Gilbert & Edwin Chapin Starks from a type locality of Panama City market.[3]
