Bigeye

Goal-line technology (Brazil)

Bigeyes have huge eyes for seeing in the dark. At the 2014 World Cup, goal-line technology was used at a World Cup for the first time: cameras watched the line for the referee.

On Futbol Island the bigeye can be caught at:

• Lifebuoy Point: Beside the red lifebuoy on the western boardwalk. Shrimp love the warm shallows.
• Harbour Wall: The stone harbour wall behind the farmers market. Deep, cold water for cod and haddock.
• East Jetty Spiral: The outer curve of the spiral at the end of the East Jetty, out past the farmers market. Deeper water than the shore, so a tuna or an octopus sometimes swims by.
• Channel Bend: The causeway's big bend over the deepest water between the two islands. Shoals swim through the open channel, and now and then a tuna or a little shark follows them.
• Coral Garden Beach: The quiet north-west beach of Coral Cay. Coral grows just offshore, so octopuses and little sharks come hunting.
• Sharks Beach Point: The east end of Sharks Beach, a long kick from the beach-soccer court. The open sea starts here, so tuna and little sharks swim close in.
• Drop-off Ledge: A rocky ledge on Summit Isle’s south-east shore, where the sand stops and the sea drops away into deep blue. Cod and haddock nose along the edge, and now and then a little shark patrols it.

Comes out at night.

Size on the island: 15–30 cm.
