Dogtooth tuna cruise the open water beyond the reef edge in small groups during the northeast monsoon season, occasionally coming shallower to hunt in the current convergence. High-protein reef fish predators reaching 2 m — fast, curious, and unmistakable.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
