The koheru (Decapterus koheru) is a ray-finned fish of the genus Decapterus, part of the family Carangidae.^[2] It is endemic to New Zealand where it occurs from Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands to southern North Island. This is a schooling, pelagic species of coastal waters where it is found within shallow bays, harbours, estuaries and near rocky reefs and offshore islands at depths of between 2 and 90 metres (6.6 and 295.3 ft). Juveniles prefer rocky inshore areas, while adults are known to form dense schools in offshore waters. The maximum fork length is 40.3 centimetres (15.9 in). They live to around 10 years and juveniles growth quickly, attaining a fork length of 37 centimetres (15 in) by the time they are three years old.^[1] They feed on zooplankton.^[2] It is a species of minor interest to commercial fisheries but is taken by recreational anglers.^[1]

-The '''koheru''', ''Decapterus koheru'', is a jack of the genus ''[[Decapterus]]'', found only between the [[North Cape]] and the [[East Cape]] of the [[North Island]] of [[New Zealand]], in mid-waters of [[reef]] and offshore areas.  Its length is between 25 and 50 cm.
-The koheru is a streamlined cylindrical-shaped schooling fish, with [[pelagic]] [[keel]]s on each side of the thin [[caudal peduncle]] edged with a row of sharp [[scute]]s.  The mouth has minute teeth in the flexible jaws allowing the mouth to form a [[plankton]] sucking tube.
-Koheru are electric blue on the back tinged with green, and silver-white on the belly with a prominent yellow stripe running along the back and on to the caudal peduncle.  The stripe can be suppressed by the fish at will.  When a koheru school is threatened by a large predator it often dives and uses the reef for protection - unusual behaviour for schooling fish.
