Geocache Description:

The Saltwater Series should all be EZ P & G here scattered around Victoria. We've been wanting to create a series to bring even more caches to Victoria. You will find similarities to the majority of the caches in this series, and seeing how we love to fish, we wanted to make this series the name of all ( or most )of the saltwater fish that could be caught off of the coast of Texas. All of the caches are going to be rated 2.5 on difficulty due to having to use extreme stealth at most GZ's.

found along the eastern Atlantic coast from Senegal to South Angola.[2] Megalops cyprinoides is found along the eastern African coast, throughout southeast Asia, Japan, Tahiti, and Australia. Both species are found in both salt and freshwater habitats usually ascending rivers to access freshwater marshes.[3] They are able to survive in brackish water, waters of varying pH, as well as habitats with low dissolved O2 content due to their swim bladders which they use primarily to breathe with.The habitat of the tarpon varies greatly with the developmental stage they are in. Stage one larvae are usually found in clear, warm, oceanic waters relatively close to the surface. Stage two and three larvae are found in salt marshes, tidal pools, creeks, and rivers. The habitats are characteristically warm, shallow, dark bodies of water with sandy mud bottoms. It is quite common for tarpon to
ascend rivers into freshwater. As they progress from the juvenile stage to adulthood, they move back to the open waters of the ocean, though many remain in freshwater habitats.
