Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 113 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 116934); poids max. publié: 8.0 kg (Ref. 116934)
Épines dorsales (Total): 19 - 21; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 15-19; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 20; Vertèbres: 48 - 50. Interpelvic process small and bifid. Lateral line gradually curving down toward caudal peduncle. The only species in the genus with a straight intestine. Swim bladder absent. Body covered with small scales. Anterior quarter of first dorsal fin and a narrow distal margin of the rest of the dorsal fin black. Sides with seven or more rows of longitudinal spots on the sides; some spots connected together.
Found near shore (including semi-enclosed sea areas) (Ref. 11230). Undergoes a spawning migration in spring (March to June) and a feeding migration in fall (September to November) in the Inland Sea of Japan. Feeds on small fishes. Another major fishing gear that is used are set nets. This species is the most important Scomberomorus species in Japan which is cultured and released for fishery. Marketed fresh and especially tasty in winter. Eaten pan-fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9988).
