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.
