 Along with the white trevally, "Pseudocaranx dentex", it is the only member of the Carangidae to have the anatomy of its eyes examined, with the study finding excellent dark-environment sight due to the presence of a tapetum.The maturation and reproduction of the whitefin trevally have been extensively studied off Japan due to the species' economic importance in this region.Sexual maturity is reached at a minimum length of 15.1 cm, although most individuals reach maturity at around 17.4 cm length and every individual is mature by 24 cm.
