| Abstract | Indian mackerel Rastrelliger kanagurta is a schooling fish belonging to the Family Scombridae found in the Indian, West Pacific oceans and surrounding areas. It is a popular and comparatively cheaper food fish in Southeast Asian countries. The body of the Indian mackerel is moderately deep and the head is longer than the body depth. Adults occur in coastal bays, and deep lagoons, usually in turbid plankton-rich waters in 15-90 m depth (Froese and Pauly, 2010). They feed on phytoplankton (diatoms) and small zooplankton (cladocerans, ostracods, larval polychaetes, etc.). Adult individuals feed on macroplankton such as larval shrimps and fish. Maximum length reported is 35 cm and length (Collette and Nauen, 1983). |
