It's a type of fish, but I'm not able to find this upon research. It appears in a list with a lot of other types of fish.
Thank you!

Explanation:
The yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) is an abundant species of snapper native to the western Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Although they have been found as far north as Massachusetts, their normal range is along Florida south to the West Indies and Brazil. This species is mostly found around coral reefs, but may be found in other habitats.

  -> Cheers, Phil!

agree  Charles Davis: Most probably Ocyurus chrysurus (yellowtail snapper); in Mexico it can also be Lutjanus inermis (golden snapper), and in Colombia it can be Salminus affinis (no EN common name): I never miss a chance to plug https://www.fishbase.de/
