At the time of his announcement, 1992 was the earliest date Bigeyes were expected to be produced.

Priacanthidae, the bigeyes, is a family comprising 18 species of marine fishes.

Catalufas are also commonly called "bigeyes" (the common name for all Priacanthidae).

They are often found sharing these hiding places with cardinalfishes and bigeyes, fellow nightowls.

Against the bigeyes we were totally helpless, totally helpless."

Bigeyes (Priacanthus arenatus)

Darenberg, whose business includes substantial recreational catches, said, "We had bigeyes in the spring, yellowfin in the summer and in the fall bluefins caught as far as 75 miles off shore."

The council supports a reduction in the use of purse seine nets at fish aggregation devices-open-ocean buoys-because too many juvenile bigeyes are taken before they become sexually mature and can propagate.

The great prizes here are the two species known as ahi: the plump yet streamlined bigeyes (Thunnus obesus), which range up to five feet long, and the sleeker, more torpedo-shaped yellowfins (Thunnus albacares).

THE season is about over and most of the albacores, skipjacks, bigeyes and bluefins are turning south to head for the Gulf of Mexico to spawn, but the large catches of these tuna have left many happy fishermen along the East Coast.

"Catalufa" is an alternate common name for some members of the Priacanthidae family.

Pristigenys alta, common name short bigeye, is a species of fish in the family Priacanthidae.

Catalufas are also commonly called "bigeyes" (the common name for all Priacanthidae).

The word catalufa is also used in several Caribbean countries as the Spanish or French language common name for a number of other Priacanthidae species.

The earliest identified Priacanthidae fossils date to the middle Eocene epoch of the lower Tertiary period, or roughly 40 to 50 million years ago.

Here the main fish selected were small reef dwellers, with fish from the families Labridae, Mullidae, Scaridae and Priacanthidae being the most common.

Priacanthus hamrur, the Lunar-Tailed Bigeye or Moontail bullseye, is a marine fish belonging to the family Priacanthidae.
