We used BreakDancer-1.1 under GPLv3 [32], which provides genome-wide detection of structural variants from next generation paired-end sequencing reads, with the default parameters to detect insertions/deletions, inversion, and translocations in the pair-end resequenced data of the 20 greater amberjacks. The whole-genome resequenced assembly files were saved in Bam file format.

Depths beyond 125 feet will also produce some monster gag and red grouper, scamp, big vermilion, lane, and mangrove snapper, gray triggerfish, and greater amberjacks. AJ season closes the end of October in Gulf state waters.

Home Waters

Frisky live baits are one of the best ways to tempt amberjacks. These can be pinfish, Spanish sardines, menhaden, blue runners or any other live baitfish.

However, both lesser amberjack and greater amberjack juveniles can also be banded, and banded rudderfish have different fishing regulations (size limit, bag limit, closed season) than greater amberjacks.
