First record of the King Mackerel,Scomberomorus cavalla, in Northern Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
Tóm tắt
Three king mackerel each weighing about 27 pounds and about 44 inches fork length were taken in pound nets during October, 1961 off Swan Point, Kent County. These were part of a school that apparently invaded the upper Bay during late summer and fall. Meristic and morphometric data from them were compared with specimens from other points along the range of the species; the differences between them were not great except for tooth counts. The number of teeth cited in much of the literature ranges from 30 to 44 on each jaw, but the MarylandS. cavalla possessed about 60 on each jaw. Vertebral number in each were: precaudal 19+caudal 23=42; these were normal for the species. Data is given on the king mackerel fishery in southern Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, and records of the cero,S. regalis, are discussed.
