Japanese Spanish mackerel is taken throughout its range, but is the most important Scomberomorus species in Japan. The world catch reported by China, Japan and the Republic of Korea fluctuated between 42 800 metric tons in 1975 and 68 300 metric tons in 1981 (FA0 1983). Driftnets and set gillnets are the major fishing gears in the seasonal fishery in the Inland Sea of Japan operational from March to June and from September to November. The fish are primarily marketed fresh, and are especially tasty in winter.The total catch reported for this species to FAO for 1999 was 595 103 t. The countries with the largest catches were China (565 764 t) and Korea, Republic of (19 502 t).

Brief Summary
provided by FAO species catalogs
S. niphonius is an epipelagic, neritic species,carrying out a spawning migration in spring (March to June) and a feeding migration in fall (September to November) in the Inland Sea of Japan (Hamada & Iwai, 1967). Spawning extends from April to May with medium-sized fish producing some 550 000 to 870 000 eggs (Kishinouye, 1923). No detailed food studies are available, but the species is known to prey on small fishes.

Diagnostic Description
provided by FAO species catalogs
Gillrakers on first arch moderate: 2 or 3 on upper limb; 9 to 12 on lower limb; 11 to 15 total. First dorsal fin with 19 to 21 spines; second dorsal with 15 to 19 rays, followed by 7 to 9 finlets; anal fin with 16 to 20 rays, followed by 6 to 9 finlets; pectoral fin rays 21 to 23. Lateral line gradually curving down toward caudal peduncle. Vertebrae 21 to 23 precaudal plus 27 or 28 caudal, total 48 to 50, usually 49. The only species in the genus with a straight intestine. Colour: sides with 7 or more rows of longitudinal spots on the sides; some spots connected together; spots more numerous and smaller than in S. munroi, about pupil size; anterior quarter of first dorsal fin and a narrow distal margin of the rest of the dorsal fin black, most of basal membranes of posterior three quarters of fin white.

Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
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.
Morphology
provided by Fishbase
Dorsal spines (total): 19 - 21; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15 - 19; Analsoft rays: 16 - 20; Vertebrae: 48 - 50
Migration
provided by Fishbase
Oceanodromous. Migrating within oceans typically between spawning and different feeding areas, as tunas do. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.
Diagnostic Description
provided by Fishbase
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.

Marketed fresh and especially tasty in winter. Eaten pan-fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9988).

Japanese Spanish mackerel
provided by wikipedia EN
The Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius), also known as the Japanese seer fish, is a species of true mackerel in the scombrid family (Scombridae).[2] Their maximum reported length is 100 cm, and the maximum reported weight is 10.57 kg.[3]
Fisheries
Japanese Spanish mackerel is an important species for fisheries in east Asia. South Korea is the country reporting the biggest annual catches, followed by Japan and Taiwan. These added to a relatively modest total catch of about 56,000 tonnes in 2009. However, China reports very large catches of unidentified seer fish (Scomberomorus spp., fluctuating around 400,000 tonnes in 2000–2009), without reporting catches of any single Scomberomorus species.[4] It is likely that these catches include a significant proportion of Japanese Spanish mackerel.
