        The Purse-Eyed Scad is a little kind of fish that stays in the ocean. This little kind of fish looks white. Its body is very smooth, there aren't any scales. It has big eyes, but they are not very big. The Purse-Eyed Scad does not stay by itself. They must always stay in a group together. We often catch them in the night, when we go fishing with a lamp. And we get them in the net, when they are sitting at the side of the beach. The Purse-Eyed Scad is a good bait and also a good little fish to eat, it is fleshy. The Purse-Eyed Scad nearly looks like the gaagaga (drinking) mullet and the karakoovi
