Here are all the New Jersey Marine Digests in pdf, back through 2000. The state's website is just so painful and slow to find anything on:

Greater Amberjack

Amberjack

Seriola dumerili

Description
The coloration of the greater amberjack is characterized by a dark stripe on the head which extends from the origin of the first dorsal gin through the eye. The back is blue or olivaceous, and the sides and belly are silvery-white. Occasionally there is an amber or pinkish cast to the body. Juveniles have five or six dark vertical bars along the sides.
