Overview
Family : Mackerels , tunas , bonitos ; Schooling species which moves into inshore waters , bays and estuaries of Queensland during the southern midwinter and early spring . Often inhabit very turbid coastal waters shallower than 30 m [1]. Common length 50 to 80 cm FL [2]. Seasonally migratory in the Gulf of Carpentaria and form mixed schools with S. commerson over shallow reefs offshore of Queensland. Trolling lines with lures such as metal spoons and cut bait are used by recreational and commercial fishermen. Mostly marketed fresh[3].

Description
Habitat
Biome: Marine .
Ecology:
Scomberomorus queenslandicus
is an epipelagic, neritic schooling
species, which often inhabits
turbid
coastal waters
in embayments
and estuaries (Begg and Hopper
1997, Begg and Sellin 1998). It forms mixed schools with S.
commerson over shallow reefs offshore of Queensland. Scomberomorus
queenslandicus is seasonally migratory and moves into inshore
waters, bays
and estuaries of Queensland during the southern midwinter
and early spring
. The depth profile
of S.
queenslandicus has a lower limit
of around 100 m.
However,
it often inhabits very turbid coastal waters shallower than 30 m.
Common length
is 50–80 cm fork length (FL
).
School Mackerel
spawn
between October and January along the east coast of Queensland
(Begg 1998). Age of maturity
is 1.5 years, length of females at 50%
maturity is 40–45 cm FL, and length of males at 50% maturity is 35–40
cm FL (Begg 1998). Maximum age
is 10 years based on a growth study
using otoliths (Begg 1998). Maximum length
is 100 cm FL (Collette
1983).
