By the time we reached the bottom the sharks had gone, but as we rounded a sharp corner we came upon a school of spadefish. |

As well as seeing many barracuda, we encountered a shoal of Atlantic spadefish and angelfish. |
|
Atlantic spadefish, for example, which average 3 to 4 pounds, are plentiful for now and are relatively good to eat. |
|
At Blind Man Rock, a shoal of Atlantic spadefish streams back and forth in the shallows. |
|
A pair of spadefish and grey angelfish circled above the rays, waiting to pick up left-overs. |
|
In many fish, part of the skull is affected, such as the supraoccipital of the spadefish. |
|
Mangrove snapper, flounder, spadefish and black drum are inland options given suitable water clarity, especially at night. |
|
These were replaced during winter by the leopard searobin, blackcheek tonguefish, southern kingfish, pinfish, and spadefish. |
|
Ours involved being stalked for half an hour by three Pinnate Spadefish in the Maldives as we navigated the underground gardens of a coral reef, 12m below sea. |
|
So reef butterfly fish, angelfish, spadefish and porkfish attempt to hide their eyes with a vertical black bar, and often put a fake eyespot near their tails. |
