Expert method for differentiation of chub mackerel (<i>Scomber japonicus</i>) and blue mackerel (<i>S. australasicus</i>) in catches

Only one diagnostic sign is enough for differentiation of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus and blue mackerel S. australasicus working with mass material. It is a number of spines in dorsal fin: chub mackerel has 9-10 (often 9) and blue mackerel has 11-12 spines. Species identification may be done by...

description Only one diagnostic sign is enough for differentiation of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus and blue mackerel S. australasicus working with mass material. It is a number of spines in dorsal fin: chub mackerel has 9-10 (often 9) and blue mackerel has 11-12 spines. Species identification may be done by relative distance between the spines: it is larger by half for chub mackerel. The species differ well by coloration of dorsal side: blue mackerel has «marbled» pattern with thin lines, in contrast to chub mackerel that has «zebra» pattern with thick lines.
