The Bonefish (Albula vulpes) is a solitary traveler and member of the family Albulidae and are also called Banana fish or Ladyfish. They have slender and relatively long bodies with somewhat green backs and yellow pectoral fins. Bonefish exhibit high levels of speed and strength, preference for shallow coastal and island waters of warm seas.
They have a pointed piglike snout that holds their small mouth and deeply notched caudal fin. The bonefish is an important ingredient in fly-fishing for the people of Southern Florida, Bahamas, and Puerto Rico. They love to feed in areas of low tides and protected bays.
Bonefish have a total length between 16”-30” (40-75 cm), body height of 3.5”-6.5” (8.9-16.5 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 7-20 lb (3-9 kg). The typical lifespan of the Bonefish is 10-20 years.
