Migrations and Biological Characteristics of Atlantic Mackerel ( Scomber scombrus ) Occurring in Newfoundland Waters
Mackerel migrate to Newfoundland waters from July to November and exhibit periodic fluctuations in abundance. Recent taggings have shown extensive migrations from Newfoundland to ICNAF Statistical Area 6. Various biological characteristics of mackerel from Newfoundland waters are reported and compar...
