Garfish - Greater Amberjacks - Palomines or Glaucous Piches

Common garfish (Belone belone): They swim just below the surface, which makes them difficult to spot since when snorkeling, you're looking down. I sometimes encounter one or two of them alone, and they don't let me approach them and continue on their way without giving me time to take a good photo. And then one lucky day, at La Grande Pointe in 2023, I came across a large school of about a hundred garfish that hovered around me for a long time. A marvel! The film is below. Their elongated shape, their long, pointed mouth, and their oddly positioned fins toward the rear make them a unique fish.

Greater Yellowtail (Seriola dumerili): I've only been lucky enough to see an adult greater yellowtail once, but -double luck- it circled me three times before darting off, and I had time to take a few photos! About 60 cm long; very impressive. Juvenile Yellowtails are sometimes seen in schools, especially at Grande Pointe, and they are very pretty. They have a sort of yellow diagonal bar across their eye.

The palomines or glaucous piches (Trachinotus ovatus): Palomines are very strange in the way they swim: they have a very notched tail and move very quickly. They are rare. In general, I see groups of small ones, about fifteen centimeters maximum, very close to the shore, where the waves break. Once I saw two very large ones at the Croisette, but, unfortunately, the water was murky.
