roosterfish, also called papagallo, (Nematistius pectoralis), popular game fish of the family Nematistiidae, related to the jack (q.v.) family, Carangidae (order Perciformes). In the Gulf of California roosterfish commonly reach weights of 9 kilograms (20 pounds) and occasional specimens weigh as much as 32 kg. They are ferocious fighters when hooked on fishing tackle by trolling or casting. A shiny bluish-gray in body colour, roosterfish are similar in shape and appearance to members of the jack family. The name is derived from the appearance of the animal’s elongate dorsal fin spines.
