Top Longnose Trevally Fishing Countries

The longnose trevally (*Carangoides chrysophrys*) is a medium-sized, silvery predatory fish distinguished by its elongated snout and streamlined body, commonly found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific region. This species inhabits reefs, lagoons, and estuaries, making it accessible to both commercial and artisanal fisheries. The top countries engaged in longnose trevally fishing include Indonesia, India, Thailand, the Philippines, and Australia, where the fish is harvested for local consumption and, to a lesser extent, export. In these nations, the longnose trevally is caught using a variety of methods such as handlines, gillnets, and trawls, often as part of mixed-species catches. While not a primary target compared to more commercially valuable jacks and trevallies, the longnose trevally contributes to the livelihoods of small-scale fishers and the diversity of regional seafood markets.
