Proximate and Mineral Composition of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and Atlantic Horse Mackerel (Trachurus trachurus)

Population Structure of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus)

Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) occurs on both sides of the north Atlantic and has traditionally been grouped into 5 spawning components, some of which were thought to be isolated natal homing stocks. Previous studies have provided no evidence for cross Atlantic migration and no or weak support for isolated spawning components within either side of the North Atlantic. We question the de-fa...

EFFECT OF GUTTING ON RANCIDITY DEVELOPMENT IN HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) DURING FROZEN STORAGE

Gutting handling was applied to fresh horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) to study its effect on rancidity development during the frozen storage (up to 12 months at 20oC). For it, chemical (free fatty acids, FFA; peroxide value, PV; thiobarbituric acid index, TBA-i; fluorescence ratio, FR) and sensory (odour and taste) analyses were carried out. Results showed that gutting treatment of horse m...

STUDIES ON RANCIDITY INHIBITION IN FROZEN HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) BY CITRIC AND ASCORBIC ACIDS

Effect of combining high-pressure processing and frozen storage on the functional and sensory properties of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus)

Diets and selective feeding by larvae of Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus on zooplankton *

This paper describes the diets of 201 larvae of Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus L. collected from Long Island Sound, New York (USA) during May-June 1982 and 1983. First-feeding larvae (3.5 mm in length) were phytophagous. The diets of larvae 4.5 mm were composed of the nauplii of Acartia hudsonica, Temora longicornis and Pseudocalanus sp. Larvae > 5 mm ate some copepodites of A. hudsonica an...
