MACKEREL spotted [ Scomberomorus munroi ]

Spotted Mackerel, like all Mackerel, have an elongated body with pointed noses and mouth full of very sharp teeth. They have a light silvery grey body, that is bluey green above the lateral line. They are often confused with the Queensland School Mackerel, however can be distinguished by the blotches on the School Mackerel are poorly defined and less than the spotted Mackerel, also the first dorsal fin of the School Mackerel is jet black with a large contrasting white section between the sixth and seventh spine which the spotted Mackerel does not have.
