Big Eyes Jack Fish


Another picture of a fish during my diving trip to Sipadan Island on 13th December 2012. 

No word can describe my experience when 1st dive here. At a depth of 3 meters, all this big fish waiting patiently for a divers to come down. 


Here are some facts about the Big Eye Jack Fish

Also known as Trevallies, Bigeye Jack and Jack Fish.

Found singly in small groups or large schools, often on clear outer reefs and along deep drop-off's.
Often inquisitive of divers.
They feed on small fish.
Length - 100cm
Depth - 10-50m
Widespread Indo-Pacific

Jacks are fast swimming fish that can roam over great distances. The larger fish hunt other fish and the smaller fish eat zooplankton. In turn they are hunted by large Tuna and Dolphins.
