Slimy
(or Blue) Mackerel (Scomber australasieus)
Photographs
and Information
Also known as blue
mackerel, Japanese mackerel, Pacific mackerel, slimy mackerel,
or spotted chub mackerel,
Blue mackerel (or Slimey
Mackerel) are caught commercially by small purse seines for use as both live and
dead bait in domestic tuna fisheries. They are also caught with ring nets and in
otter trawls in New South Wales.
They are found in waters of southern half of Australia but are also found throughout
the Western Pacific Ocean, Hawaii and the eastern Pacific.
Juveniles and small adult fish usually inhabit inshore waters, while larger adult fish
form schools in 40-200m of water over the continental shelf.
They spawn in summer.
Blue Mackerel is very good smoked.

Angling for Slimy Mackerel
:
Slimy Mackerel can be found around rocks,
wharves and jetties in bays and inshore as well as offshore.
Blue Mackerel can also be caught using imitation fishing flies
and small baitfish flies, metal lures, soft plastics and other
small lures. One of the easiest ways to catch Blue Mackerel is
using a light hand line with a small hook, you don't have to
weight the line, but you can use a small lead running sinker if
you want.

Commercial Fishing for
Slimy Mackerel: Blue mackerel
(Scomber australasicus)
are caught commercially by small purse seines for use as both
live and dead bait in domestic tuna fisheries. Blue mackerel
occur off all states of Australia except the Northern Territory. The species
inhabits inshore and continental shelf waters, with older fish occurring further
offshore. Commercial landings of blue mackerel since the mid 1980s have
generally been between 300 and 500 tonnes annually but show considerable
fluctuations. These fluctuations are likely to reflect changes in stock
availability due to recruitment variability and may also reflect changes in the
distribution of fish due to oceanographic processes.
Buyers, processors and sellers of Blue Mackerel Scomber australasicus are
listed.
