Bonefish are a type of fish found in shallow coastal waters, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. They are known for their sleek bodies and long, forked tails, which make them agile swimmers. Bonefish typically inhabit sandy or muddy bottoms and are often sought after by anglers for their challenging fight when hooked. These fish are primarily carnivorous, feeding on small crustaceans and invertebrates. Bonefish can grow up to 30 inches long and are often found in schools. They are an important species in both recreational fishing and local ecosystems, contributing to the health of marine environments like coral reefs and seagrass beds.
