  • Scientific Name: Scomberomorus regalis
  • Average Weight: 6 - 11 lbs.
  • Location & Habitat: The range of the cero mackerel is limited to the western Atlantic Ocean, from Massachusetts, USA south to Brazil, including the Bahamas and West Indies. It is common in the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Florida. Usually alone, the cero mackerel occasionally forms schools over coral reefs, wrecks, and along ledges at depths ranging from 3.3-66 feet. It is usually seen in mid-water and near the water's surface.
  • Biology: The cero mackerel grows to a maximum size of 72 inches in length and 17 pounds in weight. although the cero mackerel commonly weighs up to 8 pounds. Males reach maturity at lengths between 12.8-13.4 inches, and females at lengths of approximately 15 inches. The cero mackerel is well-equipped for prey capture with powerful jaws and razor-sharp teeth.
  • Physical Description: The elongate, streamlined body of the cero mackerel is well-adapted for swimming at speeds up to 30 mph. The body is covered with small scales, with the lateral line sloping downwards toward the caudal peduncle. Another similar fish, the king mackerel, can be distinguished from the cero mackerel as it has a lateral line that curves downward below the second dorsal fin. The caudal fin is lunate and the pelvic fins are relatively long. Scales extend out onto the pectoral fins. The spiny and soft dorsal fins are separate, with the soft dorsal fin matching the anal fin directly below it. There are a series of finlets following each fin as well as three keels on either side of the caudal peduncle. The swim bladder is absent in the cero mackerel. Although, the cero is often confused with the Spanish mackerel, there are three main differences between the two species. Firstly, the cero has an elongate posterior pelvic process. Secondly, there is a difference in the circulatory system, where the cero has a coeliaco-mesenteric shunt, and the Spanish mackerel does not. Lastly the cero does not have a pterotic spine. The back is iridescent bluish-green with the sides and belly silvery in color. A mid-lateral bronze stripe runs from the pectoral fin to the base of the caudal fin.
