Fishery

Pacific mackerel are harvested by three separate fisheries – the California commercial fishery, a sport fishery based primarily in southern California, and the Mexican commercial fishery. In the commercial fisheries, Pacific mackerel are landed by the same vessels that catch jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus), Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax), and market squid (Doryteuthis opalescens). Pacific mackerel have long been cast in the role of an intruder or nuisance fish by most recreational anglers, especially those seeking larger sportfish like yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) or Pacific barracuda (Sphryaena argentea), but are also one of the most frequently caught recreational fish.

Fishing season

The fishery can be active year around, with landings typically being highest in the summer.

Market(s)

For many years, demand for canned Pacific mackerel was steady and exceeded supply. The market for canned mackerel has fluctuated due to availability and economic conditions. At present, most Pacific mackerel is used for human consumption, canned, or used for pet food, with a small but increasing amount sold as fresh fish. Minor amounts of Pacific mackerel are used by anglers for live and dead bait.
