| Description |
Scomberomorus cavalla specimen on display as part of the exhibit "Sailing for Science: The Voyage of the Blossom", hosted by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The three-masted sailing ship Blossom left the United States for Africa, the South Atlantic, and South America on a speciment collecting expedition in 1922. It returned in 1926 with more than 12,000 specimens. Commonly called the king mackerel, this is a marine fish common in coastal temperate waters in the western Atlantic Ocean. At its adult size, it is 20 (male) to 36 (female) inches in length and weighs 11 (males) to 22 (female) pounds. It is olive colored on the back, fading to silver with a pinkish-red iridescence on the sides. This fades to white on the belly. This fish, a member of the mackerel family, is migratory. One group moves along the Gulf Coast and around Florida, while another moves from Florida north to Virginia and sometimes further north. King mackerel are voracious eaters. They favor anchovies, blue runners, cigar minnows, cutlassfish, grunts, jacks, northern mackerel, sardine-like fish, squid, threadfish, and weakfish. |
