The Yellowtail Kingfish is of the finfish species.
Kingfish are a schooling fish, usually seen as adults in small to large numbers. In general, they inhabit rocky reefs and adjacent sandy areas in coastal waters and occasionally enter estuaries. The Kingfish has found itself the reputation of one of the strongest fish in the sea.
I created these guys, after hearing a story about them from my dad. He was out spear fishing, when he suddenly became encircled by a huge school of these marvellous fish. My dad was so awestruck by the amount of Kingfish glistening under the water that day. He said they stared him down, with their piercing eyes, all looking at him. My dad had become so mesmerised, he couldn’t even lift his spear to them.
