Externally, the almost vertical silvery sides made of large scales are the most distinctive feature of the tarpon. The tarpon has an upper mouth and the lower mandible extends well beyond the gape. The fins do not contain thorns, but are all made of soft rays. The dorsal fin is high forward and contains 13-15 rays of light, the last ray of which is very elongated into a thick filament. The caudal is deeply forked and the lobes appear to have the same length. The anterior part of the anal fin is deep and triangular. The fin has 22-25 rays, the last ray being elongated again as in the dorsal fin, but shorter and present only in adults. The tarpon has large pelvic fins and long pectoral fins containing 13 to 14 soft rays. The name "silver king" refers to the predominant bright silvery color on the sides and belly of the tarpon. Dorsally, the tarpon usually appears from dark blue to greenish black. However, the color may appear brownish or coppery for individuals living in inland waters. Dorsal and caudal fins have dark edges and often appear dark.
