Hi,
I have three fish from Isla Coiba (Pacific side) in Panama that I need some help with... -not the best pic, but need to know before I archive them :)

Thanks,

The third fish is a giant trevally with the characteristic black mark on the base of pectoral fin. The first appears to be a grouper but photo not sharp enough for me to be sure of it type. I am far from an expert and look forward to more informed id from others.
 
The second one is a group of Jacks. My first thought was of Horse-eye Jacks, but they have a yellow tail. This could be Black Jack (Caranx lugubris).
The third one reminds me of a Almaco Jack (Seriola rivoliana) with the dark band over the head.
 
3) Almaco Jack (Seriola rivoliana) looks good :)

(( 2) have you seen the whaleshark in the bg? :) ))

Thanks,
// Magnus;
