The greater amberjack is a powerful hunter which feeds on other fish and invertebrates.

The greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is a jack of the genus Seriola.

The greater amberjack is prized by sports fisherman because it is a very powerful fish and can be quite large, even as much as 70 kg.

In the Atlantic the species has also been video-recorded schooling with the almaco jack, Seriola rivoliana, and the greater amberjack, Seriola dumerili.

The giant trevally is the largest member of the genus Caranx, and the fifth-largest member of the family Carangidae (exceeded by the yellowtail amberjack, greater amberjack, leerfish and rainbow runner), with a recorded maximum length of 170 cm and a weight of 80 kg.

Other notable catches from New York in modern times include a 58-pound greater amberjack from Gardiners Bay, an 11-inch snook captured at Island Park, and two species more often found on coral reefs, squirrelfish and foureye butterflyfish taken in Reynolds Channel near Point Lookout.

A spin-off manga titled Kanpachi: Crazy Seriola Dumerili written and illustrated by Takenashi's brother Shinichi Yuhki began serialization in the April 2010 issue of Comic Rex.
