Sexual maturity is typically reached between 2.4 and 2.8 years, corresponding to lengths slightly below 267 mm.
Reproductive Biology and Ecological Behavior of the Blue Runner ( Caranx crysos )
Specimens live up to 11 years. Standardized growth equations show females reach a theoretical maximum mass of approximately 1,245g.
Classified in the jack family (Carangidae), Blue Runners are found from Nova Scotia to Brazil. They serve as a vital link in the marine food web, acting as both a predator of crustaceans and a primary prey for larger species like yellowfin tuna.
Analysis of 1,238 specimens using otolith reading to determine age and growth patterns. Key Findings:
