i vote greater amberjack - it looks larger, and at 00:08 you can see the dorsal fin displayed against the deep blue of the water. the fin looks more like: http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/jackgrea.html rather than my other guess: http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/jackalm.html both are distributed worldwide - I don't know if there are other species that might be more pacific centric that I am missing...

About This Project

Digitizing the Coral Reefs of Easter Island and Salas y Gómez

Ecology and Sustainable Management of Oceanic Islands

On remote tropical islands, coral reefs can be affected by the impacts of strong waves and historical overfishing. This project will focus on the effects those impacts have on the coral reefs of Easter Island and Salas y Gómez. Imagery of the benthic communities will be recorded using advanced digital photomosaic technology, as described by Gintert et al., (2012). The images will provide data on the overall health of the coral reefs through time.
