Description

Scientific name: Scomber scombrus

Habitat: Pelagic
Main role: Predator
Trophic level: 3,9

IUCN Red List Assessment: Least Concern

Diet: Mackerel are carnivorous and primarily feed on small fish, such as herring, and benthic organisms, worms and other invertebrates.

Threats: Mackerel are caught by a directed fishery for human consumption, which tends to target bigger fish, potentially causing smaller, less marketable fish to be discarded. They are highly migratory and can be found in both warm and cold waters worldwide.

Information

The most common species of Mackerel in the North Sea is the Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus). This type of Mackerel has streamlined, torpedo-shaped bodies that are built for swift swimming, as well as blue-green back with vertical stripes along their sides. Both of these characteristics help them camouflage when in the water, as they primarily inhabitant open oceans rather than ocean floors.

The Mackerel in the North Sea mainly feeds on Benthic Invertebrates and Sandeel. Mackerel is prey to Windfarm avoiding seabirds, Demersal Fish, Cod, and Cetaceans, such as types of dolphins or whales. Mackerel avoid Surface Disturbance and Noise and get caught primarily through Industrial & Pelagic Trawl.
