'''Carangoides ruber''', or the '''bar jack''' is an [[ocean]]-dwelling [[fish]] commonly found in the central [[Atlantic Ocean]] and the [[Caribbean]]. It is a fairly popular [[fishing|sport fish]] and can be caught on light [[Fishing tackle|tackle]]. However, most recorded [[ciguatera]] cases on the [[island]] of [[Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|St. Thomas]] can be traced to this single species. |

He was the [[Enrico Fermi]] [[Distinguished Service Professor]] of Physics at the [[University of Chicago]] before he moved to [[ETH Zürich]]. After retiring from ETH he divided his time between [[CERN]] and the [[California Institute of Technology]]. |
|||
==Taxonomy== |
|||
The bar jack was first described as ''Somber ruber'' by [[Marcus Elieser Bloch|Bloch]], in [[1793]] but he later re-described it as a member of the [[genus]], ''[[Carangoides]]''. Aside from "Bar jack", other [[common name]]s for this fish include Blue-striped cavalla, Red jack, Neverbite, and Pointnose. |
|||
Telegdi chaired CERN's scientific policy committee from 1981 to 1983. In 1991 he shared the [[Wolf prize]] with [[Maurice Goldhaber]]. He was a foreign member of the [[Royal Society]]. |
|||
===Etymology=== |
|||
''Carangoides'', the genus to which the bar jack belongs, was taken from the [[French (language)|French]] word, ''carangue'', or a fish from the Caribbean, while ''ruber'' (sometimes spelled "''rubber''") is [[Latin]] for red. |

|||
Although most common in the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and the [[West Indies]], bar jacks can also be found off the coast of [[New Jersey]] and [[Bermuda]]. They generally live in shallow water above [[coral reefs]] while [[juveniles]] are found under [[sargassum]] mats for protection. |

|||
==Description== |
|||
The bar jack is similar to the [[crevalle jack]], ''Caranx hippos'', the difference being that the bar jack's chest is completely scaled. The bar jack's [[pectoral fin]] is larger that its head and, unlike most members of the ''Caranx'' [[genus]], the straight part of the bar jack's [[lateral line]] contains [[scutes]]. The top [[jaw]] has two rows of [[canine teeth]] while the bottom jaw has only one row. |

===Coloration=== |

{{US-scientist-stub}} |
|||
Bar jack are colored similarly to the crevalle jack: both have gray bodies with a silvery tint and a white belly. [[Adult]] bar jack, however, have a horizontal bar, for which they are named, running down the upper halves of their bodies; this bar shows a brownish color when an individual is feeding on the [[seafloor]]. |
