The orangespotted trevally (Flavocaranx bajad, formerly Carangoides bajad) is a fish recognizable by the numerous small orange spots scattered across its sides. It inhabits tropical waters of the western Indo-Pacific, where it is found mainly around coral reefs and in lagoons.

The orangespotted trevally has an elongated, streamlined body that is laterally compressed, with a more arched back than belly. Its coloration ranges from coppery to bronze on the back, yellowish along the sides, and silvery on the belly. Numerous orange or yellowish-orange spots cover its sides.

orangespotted trevally typically average around 16.5 inches in length, but the largest individuals can reach up to 21.7 inches.

The orangespotted trevally inhabits tropical waters of the western Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Its range extends east to Indonesia, including the Raja Ampat, Togean, and Banggai Islands, the Gulf of Thailand, the Philippines, and Okinawa in southern Japan.

The orangespotted trevally is found mainly around coral reefs, particularly coastal reef slopes and the edges of large coral formations in lagoons. It has been observed at depths of 6.5 to 230 feet. Adults may gather in schools, while juveniles tend to live alone in sheltered coastal bays.

The orangespotted trevally is a predatory fish that hunts its prey near coastlines and coral reefs.

The reproductive biology of the orangespotted trevally remains poorly documented.
