== Geographical distribution == The Atlantic tripletail is the only fish in the family [[Lobotidae]] that can be found in the Atlantic Ocean. It is, however, distributed across tropical seas especially in the Indonesian region which is commonly found in [[Wet market|wet markets]] such as in [[Pontianak]], [[West Kalimantan]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=BPS Kota Pontianak |url=https://pontianakkota.bps.go.id/indicator/56/424/1/produksi-perikanan-tangkap.html |access-date=2022-10-30 |website=pontianakkota.bps.go.id}}</ref> In US waters, Atlantic tripletails are found from [[Massachusetts]] and [[Bermuda]] to [[Argentina]], the eastern [[Atlantic]] and [[Mediterranean Sea]], from [[Madeira Island]] to the [[Gulf of Guinea]], the eastern Pacific from [[Costa Rica]] to [[Peru]], and the western Pacific from Japan to [[Fiji]] and [[Tuvalu]]. They are rarely found north of [[Chesapeake Bay]]. They are found on the [[Gulf Coast]] from April to October and then migrate to warmer waters during winter. In the spring, tripletails concentrate just offshore of two particular spots: Port Canaveral, Florida (March–June) and Jekyll Island, Georgia (April–July). The Atlantic tripletail has been recorded as far north as the United Kingdom.<ref name = Wales>{{cite web | url = https://museum.wales/articles/1114/Exotic-Marine-Fish---evidence-of-rising-sea-temperatures-around-Wales-/ | title = Exotic Marine Fish - evidence of rising sea temperatures around Wales? | author= Graham Oliver | access-date= 4 March 2024 | publisher = Amgueddfa Cymru}}</ref>
