The morphological study of the vertebral column of Carangoides caeruleopinnatus (Rüppell, 1830) enabled the division of this bony structure into four morphologically distinct regions, and the drawing of characteristic-looking vertebral profiles. This regionalization is more complicated than the classical division in truncal and caudal parts only. These morphological descriptive parameters express a morphotype that may be linked with the carangiform mode of swimming of the onion trevally.
