PEZ GOLFAR Pomatomus saltatrix In 2006 a 7-year-old girl was attacked by a GOLFAR fish on the beach of San Juan, in Alicante, Spain, having to be hospitalized and surgically operated. And it is that this fish is very aggressive and attacks prey that are sometimes larger than its size. It measures from 60 to 80 cms and weighs up to 12 kilos. Its large mouth consists of jaws of 15 or 16 teeth, the upper one, and from 18 to 20, the lower one, all of them steely and triangular, arranged in the form of a saw, which is why it is also called sawfish. The GOLFAR fish is the only one of the genus Pomatomus, and in turn is the only one of the pomatomidos family. They are a family of fish often included in the carangidae family.
