Streamlined and fast-swimming, the Atlantic mackerel is known for its ability to migrate across enormous distances.
Atlantic mackerel is found abundantly in cold and temperate shelf areas, but moves closer to shore in spring, when water temperatures range between 11 and 14°C. Atlantic mackerel typically grow to 35 to 45 cm, but can reach up to 60 cm in length.
Atlantic mackerel is caught from June to October in the North Atlantic Ocean, in FAO area 27. The area is part of the Norwegian Sea and Greenland’s economic zone.
Atlantic mackerel is caught with a mid-water pelagic trawl (OTM).
