Description:
Mackerel
- SN: scomber scombrus
- EN: Atlantic mackerel
- NL: makreel
- GE: Makrele
- DK: makrel
- FR: maquereau commun
- NO: makrell
- SE: makrill
Habitat: Pelagic
Main role: Predator
Trophic level: 3,9
The Atlantic mackerel is abundant in cold and temperate shelf areas, and it forms large schools near the surface. Mackerel have no swimming bladder, which allows them to dive quickly in deep water or to rise rapidly to the surface. They are exceptionally fast swimmers and need lots of oxygen.
Diet: Mackerel feeds on both pelagic and benthic organisms such as fish (sprats, sandeel), worms and other invertebrates.
Threats: Of commercial interest. 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.
