The herring scad, Alepes vari is a common pelagic
fish species in the family carangidae. The species
is the largest fish of the scad genus Alepes and
maximum length so far recorded all over the world
oceans is 560 mm TL (Froese & Pauly, FishBase 2016,
http://www.fishbase.org.). During a regular field
visit, an unusually large specimen of A. vari was
recorded from Kalamukku Landing Centre, Kerala
on 25th May, 2016. This was a male individual
measuring 600 mm in total length (TL) and weighing
1.6 kg (Fig. 1)and was caught by hook and line. Young
ones occasionally occur in pelagic trawls and larger
ones rarely occur in gill net and hook and line
catches.
