Etymology: Scomberesox: Latin, scomber = mackerel + Esox, the old name for "pike" (Ref. 45335).
More on authors: Hubbs & Wisner.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
पारिस्थितिकी
समुद्री pelagic-oceanic; औशिनोड़िरोमस (Ref. 51243); गहराई सीमा 0 - ? m. Tropical
Southwest Atlantic, and Northeast Atlantic to eastern Indian Ocean: confined to warm-temperate or tropical waters, yet apparently antitropical. Eastern Atlantic: Portugal, the Azores and Madeira to Sierra Leone and westwards to 50°W, and from Angola to South Africa. Western Atlantic: Brazil to Uruguay. Often confused as the juvenile form of Scomberesox saurus scombroides (Ref. 27121).
आकार / वज़न / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 5288); common length : 9.0 cm SL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 6531)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 0; गुदा कांटा: 0. Dorsal soft rays + finlets = 14-16; Anal soft rays + finlets = 17-20.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Quite common, essentially oceanic, surface-schooling, and gregarious species. Feeds on small planktonic forms (Ref. 27121). Occasionally found in the stomachs of tunas. Too small in size to be of commercial interest (Ref. 6617).
