On Bonaire, the bigeye scad or bigeye mackerel, known as "masbangu" in Papiamentu, holds significant ecological, cultural, and economic importance.

Ecologically, masbangu plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem as a key food source for predators. They swim in large shoals, forming “bait balls,” which not only support marine life but also attract tourists, particularly divers, and snorkelers, who are drawn to this fascinating underwater spectacle.

Culturally and economically, masbangu is an essential food source for the island’s local community. The fishing of bigeye scad is a seasonal tradition, occurring between March and October when the shoals approach Bonaire’s shores to reproduce. This practice relies not on specialized equipment but on expert skills and techniques that have been handed down through generations of local fishermen, preserving an important aspect of Bonaire’s heritage.
