□ Caranx sexfasciatus Quoy & Gaimard, 1825

– Bigeye trevally; Charéu-de-natura or Encharéu ③

The species C. sexfasciatus is referred to as being present off Madeira by Maul (1948a), with the indication of very rare occurrence. There are an additional twelve records of the species in the Atlantic Ocean. According to Nichols (1938), C. sexfasciatus is a circumtropical species. Hureau & Tortonese (1979) reported that Maul’s identification might be questionable.
