Under sea turtles: yellow jacks, Carangoides bartholomaei, use swimming turtles as shelter in the tropical south-western Atlantic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 October 2011
Abstract
The opportunistic carnivore fish yellow jack (Carangoides bartholomaei) is recorded using swimming hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and green (Chelonia mydas) turtles as shelter to rove at Baía do Sueste, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, north-eastern Brazil. This behaviour is probably employed by the fish to disguise and ambush its prey while roving over the reef flat.
