Alepes
Alepes is a genus containing five extant species of tropical marine fishes in the jack family, Carangidae. They are commonly known as scads, a term applied to many genera of carangid fishes. Their body form, however, differs from these other scads by being much more ovate in shape, more similar to the larger jacks taken as game fish, although scads are generally much smaller. They are found in coastal waters throughout the Indo-West Pacific region.
Taxonomy and phylogeny
Alepes is a genus containing five extant and one extinct species. It is part of the jack family, Carangidae, a group of perciform fish in the suborder Percoidei. Recent phylogenetic studies using molecular information have placed Alepes in the subfamily Caranginae (or the tribe Carangini). The most comprehensive study suggests the genus is basal to all other 'scads' and 'horse mackerels' of the genera Trachurus, Decapterus, and Selar, whilst still being closely affiliated with larger members of Caranginae such as Caranx.

Hey look, the snow has settled all around
I hear the sweetness of a choir’s sound
A crazy rush on Christmas Eve
And all the children can’t believe
When the bells start to chime
That Santa will be right on time
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
What a day, what a day
It’s Christmas in that old fashioned way
Hey look, some more surprises on the tree
Turn on a classic movie on TV
The favourite songs you love to sing
With Frank and Elvis, Nat and Bing
There’s a knock at the door
The party’s gonna swing some more
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
What a day, what a day
It’s Christmas in that old fashioned way
And so let us drink to the memories in our hearts
We’ll raise, raise a glass to you, near or far
Wherever you are
With everyone we love so dear
Let’s celebrate this time of year
And the bells start to chime
A very merry Christmas time
What a day, what a day, the magic is here
What a day, what a day, been waiting all year
For stockings on the fireplace and candles all aglow
And we’ll just keep on dancing underneath the mistletoe
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
