The Atlantic Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) is a migratory species of mackerel that swims to the northern Gulf of Mexico in spring, returns to southern Florida in the eastern Gulf, and to Mexico in the western Gulf in the fall. It is a fast-swimming predatory fish that feeds mainly on small fishes, shrimp, and squid. The fish exhibits a green back and its sides are silvery marked with about three rows of round to elliptical yellow spots. It has a single row of cutting-edged teeth in each jaw, which are large, uniform, closely spaced, and flattened from side to side. Spanish mackerel can grow up to 91-94 cm and weigh up to 6.4kg.
