The second to last one stumped you all, while Akira got the last one in about 2 seconds. Lets hope this one is in the middle somewhere. This has enough detail for a scientific name, but a common name for the species will do.
OK Akira, you have some skill at this. New rule - anytime Akira answers a BoC, it must be accompanied by some biology so that the rest of us can learn a thing or two. Rule effective.....wait for it.....now.
I don't know much about the biology other than they are cute little scombrids. I do know that they are incorrectly called bonita or bonito by the staff, and by fisherman on the east coast. The spot behind the pect fin was the giveaway, by the way.
