In size and form these little fishes much resemble small mackerel, and they are much valued as food wherever abundant. Dccaptcrns pmiclatiis, known also as cigar-fish and round-robin, frequently visits our Atlantic coasts from the West Indies, where it is abundant. Dccaptcrns rnssclli is the Alarn- aji, highly valued in Japan for its abundance, while Decapterits mnroadsi is the Japanese muroaji. Megalaspis cordyla abounds in the East Indies and Poly-. FiG. 215.—The Saurel, Trachurus irachurus (Linna'us). Ne-n-port, 11. I. nesia. It has many finlets, and the bony plates on the lateral line are developed to an extraordinary degree. In Trachurus the finlets are lost and the bony plates extend the whole length of the lateral line. The species known as saurel and wrongly called horse-mackerel arc closely related and some of them very Avidely distributed. Tracliurus trachurus common in Europe, extends to japan where it is the abtmdant maaji. Trachurus lucditcrrauciis is common in southern Europe and Trachurus svuiiiictricus in California. Trachurus picturatus of Madeira is much the same.
