Wikipedia Abstract

The Atlantic spadefish (Chaetodipterus faber) is a species of marine fish endemic to the western Atlantic Ocean. They are commonly found in shallow waters off the coast of the southeastern United States, Gulf of Mexico, and in the Caribbean. Due to their reputation as strong fighters, they are popular game fish, especially during the summer months when they are most active.
