Summary

Of the eighteen species of Scomberomorus recognized by Collette and Russo (1979), the migratory behavior of only three species S. cavalla (king mackerel), S. maculatus (Spanish mackerel) and S. commerson (the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel) have been studied by tagging programmes. In these instances the programmes were preceded by studies of age, growth and reproduction which facilitated the analysis of tag return data.

This project was developed to specifically establish the extent of S. commerson migrations in Torres Strait and Gult of Carpentaria waters.
