Description:
Triggerfish are sustainably managed fish that are harvested responsibly. Primarily olive grey in color, adults do have the ability to change color during spawning season. They can grow up to just over 2 ft. and 13.5 lbs.
Habitat:
Found in small groups, located in and around floating objects and beds anywhere from 20-240 ft. in depth. This makes their habitat diverse with adults living on the ocean bottom, reefs, and ledges. Triggerfish mostly feed on zooplankton and see urchins.
