Mackerelഅയല
Mackerel :
The
body of the Indian mackerel is moderately deep, and the head is longer than the
body depth. The maxilla are partly concealed, covered by the lacrimal bone, but
extend till around the hind margin of the eye.
These
fish have thin dark longitudinal bands on the upper part of the body, which may
be golden on fresh specimens. There is also a black spot on the body near the
lower margin of the pectoral fin. Dorsal fins are yellowish with black tips,
while the caudal and pectoral fins are yellowish. The remaining fins are dusky . Indian mackerel reach a
maximum fork length of 35 centimetres (14 in), but
are generally around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in length.
