General Description
Elopidae is a family of ray-finned fish containing the single genus Elops. They are commonly known as ladyfishes, skipjacks, Jack-Rashes, or tenpounders.
The ladyfish are a coastal dwelling fish found throughout the tropical and sub-tropical regions. Spawning takes place at sea and the fish larvae migrate inland entering brackish waters. Their food is smaller fish and crustaceans shrimp . Typically throughout the species the maximum size is 1 160 metre 3.3 ft and the maximum weight 10 160 kilograms 22 lb . The body is fusiform tapering spindle shape and oval in cross-section being slightly laterally compressed, the eyes are large and partially covered with fatty adipose eyelids.
Like those of eels, the larvae are leptocephalic - being highly compressed, ribbon-like and transparent. After initial growth they shrink and then metamorphise into the adult form.
This family is fished, but the body is bony and therefore not edible by humans. However, the fish may be ground down for fish meal.
