Chub Mackerel ; Tinker Mackerel Scomber japoniciis Houttuyn This mackerel is widely distributed, occurring in both the Atlantic and Pacific, north in the former to England and Maine, and to San Francisco on our west coast. It is very common in the Mediterranean and off southern California. The history of the chub mackerel on our Atlantic Coast shows great variation in abundance. Up to about 1840 it was apparently an abundant fish, but between 1840 and 1850 it seems to have wholly disappeared from our coast. But in 1879 a con- siderable school was seen at Provincetown. It again disappeared in 1880, but is not rare at the present time. This is an excellent food-fish and has been regarded even as superior to the common mackerel. Colour, blue with about 30 wavy, blackish streaks which reach just below lateral line, some of these forming reticulations enclosing pale spots; more than 20 black specks or mucous pores on base of preopercle, generally arranged in more than i row; belly and sides silvery, but always with roundish dusky spots or cloudings in the adult; a black axillary spot.
