Fig. 217.—The Pampano, Trachinotua carolinus (Linnaeus). Wood's Hole. epicures. The species is most common along our Gulf coast, ranging northward along the Carolinas as far as Cape Cod. Pampano in Spanish means the leaf of the grape, from the broad body of the fish. The spelling "pompano" should there- fore be discouraged. The other pampanos, of which there are several in tropical America and Asia, are little esteemed, the flesh being dry and relatively flavorless. Tradiinotits palometa, the gaft'topsail pam- pano, has very high fins and its sides have four black bands like the marks of a grill. The round pampano, Trachinotus falcatus, is common southward, as is also the great pampano, Trachinotus goodei, which reaches a length of three feet. Trach- inotus ovatus, a large deep-bodied pampano, is common in Polynesia and the East Indies. No pampanos are found in Europe, but a related genus, Lichia, contains species which much resemble them, but in which the body is more elongate and the mouth larger. Numerous fossils are referred to the Carangidcs with more.
