Just these two species (Chub mackerel and Atlantic mackerel) account for about 75% of the total catch of scombroid mackerels. [1] Chilean jack mackerel are the most commonly fished nonscombroid mackerel, fished as heavily as chub mackerel. [1] [90] The species has been overfished, and its fishery may now be in danger of collapsing. [132] [133]
The Chilean jack mackerel looks very much like the greenback horse mackerel (Trachurus declivis) found around Australia and New Zealand. The two species can be distinguished by the number of gill rakers ( T. declivis 50–57, T. murphyi 51–65) and the number of scales and scutes in the lateral line ( T. declivis 81–82, T. murphyi 89–113).
Jack mackerels or saurels [2] are marine ray-finned fish in the genus Trachurus of the family Carangidae. The name of the genus derives from the Greek words trachys ("rough") and oura ("tail"). Some species, such as T. murphyi , are harvested in purse seine nets , and overfishing (harvesting beyond sustainable levels) has sometimes occurred.
