Pompanos (/ˈpɒmpəˌnoʊ/ POM-pə-noh) are marine fish in the genus Trachinotus in the family Carangidae (better known as "jacks"). Pompano may also refer to various other, similarly shaped members of Carangidae, or the order Perciformes. They are found worldwide in warmer seas, sometimes also entering brackish waters.
