Scomberomorus concolor (Lockington) Monterey Spanish Mackerel A specimen nearly two feet in length was taken in a bait net on Sep- tember 16, 1947, by the fishing boat "Manhattan," one-half mile east of the Redondo Breakwater in Santa Monica Bay. Mr. R. C. Wilson of the California State Fisheries Laboratory, who was aboard the baitboat at the time, and brought the fish to the laboratory, said it looked like a large bonito swimming in the net and not until it was removed from the net did he realize it was anything unusual. The Monterey Spanish mackerel is nearly identical in appearance to the sierra of the Mexican Coast. However, the numerous gold spots on the sides of the sierra are usually enough to differentiate the two species. Scomheromorus concolor was fairly abundant each fall in Monterey Bay, in the 1870's and 1880's, where it became an important commercial fish. Around 1890, it failed to return in the fall and no fish of this species was taken until nearly 40 years later, w^hen one was recorded from a San Pedro fish market in 1927. Since 1927, two were landed at Monterey in 1931, one at Long Beach in 1937, and another in 1989. The most recent specimen is therefore the sixth recorded since thej^ disappeared nearly 60 years ago.
