Summary

[edit]
Description The Atlantic spadefish, Chaetodipterus Faberis, is silvery gray in color with vertical black bars. It is known and named for its characteristic spade-shaped body, which is compressed with a short snout. Atlantic spadefish typically grow to 30-45 cm with maximum lengths up to 91 cm and have 2 dorsal fins and 2 anal fins with high anterior lobes. There are also 9 dorsal spines, 21-24 dorsal soft rays, and 17-18 anal soft rays. Juveniles, which are commonly found in shallow coastal waters, are black in color for greater camoflauge. Atlantic spadefish are frequently curious toward divers and their bubbles.
