In this family are the mackerel, bonito, skipjack, albacore, and Span- ish mackerel. All but the mackerel (Scomher) have a keel-like projec- tion on the side of the tail with sometimes a pair of small ones. Scomher lacks the keel in the middle of the side but has a pair of small ones on each side. Most of the mackerels have very small scales. In some of them these are enlarged and crowded together at the front of the body in a corslet. In all of them the dorsal and anal fins are fol- lowed by detached finlets.
