Eocoelopomini
The Scombrinae are a subfamily of ray-finned bony fishes in the family Scombridae. Of the 51 species in the Scombridae, 50 are in Scombrinae – with the sole exception being the butterfly kingfish, which is placed in the monospecific subfamily Gasterochismatinae. Classification The Scombrinae, therefore, comprise 50 extant species in 14 genera, grouped into four tribes: ; Subfamily Scombrinae * Tribe Scombrini – mackerels ** Genus ''Rastrelliger'' ** Genus ''Scomber'' * Tribe Scomberomorini – Spanish mackerels ** Genus ''Acanthocybium'' ** Genus ''Grammatorcynus'' ** Genus ''Scomberomorus'' * Tribe Sardini – bonitos ** Genus '' Sarda'' ** Genus '' Cybiosarda'' ** Genus '' Gymnosarda'' ** Genus '' Orcynopsis'' * Tribe Thunnini – tunas ** Genus ''Allothunnus'' ** Genus ''Auxis'' ** Genus ''Euthynnus'' ** Genus ''Katsuwonus'' ** Genus ''Thunnus'' See also * Mackerel as food Mackerel is an important food fish that is consumed worldwide.

Scombridae
The mackerel, tuna, and bonito family, Scombridae, includes many of the most important and familiar food fishes. The family consists of 51 species in 15 genera and two subfamilies. All species are in the subfamily Scombrinae, except the butterfly kingfish, which is the sole member of subfamily Gasterochismatinae. Scombrids have two dorsal fins and a series of finlets behind the rear dorsal fin and anal fin. The caudal fin is strongly divided and rigid, with a slender, ridged base. The first (spiny) dorsal fin and the pelvic fins are normally retracted into body grooves. Species lengths vary from the of the island mackerel to the recorded for the immense Atlantic bluefin tuna. Scombrids are generally predators of the open ocean, and are found worldwide in tropical and temperate waters. They are capable of considerable speed, due to a highly streamlined body and retractable fins. Some members of the family, in particular the tunas, are notable for being partially en ...

Butterfly Kingfish
The butterfly kingfish (''Gasterochisma melampus'') is an ocean-dwelling ray-finned bony fish in the mackerel family, Scombridae – a family which it shares with the tunas, mackerels, Spanish mackerels, and bonitos. It, however, represents a lineage distinct from all other scombrids and has therefore been placed in its own genus ''Gasterochisma'' and subfamily Gasterochismatinae. Although taxonomists and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have accepted the name "butterfly kingfish", this fish has had many common names, including big-scaled mackerel, bigscale mackerel, butterfly mackerel, butterfly tuna, scaled tunny, scaly tuna, and others. In 1993, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave approval for this fish to be marketed simply as "mackerel". Description The juveniles of the butterfly kingfish are characterized by enormous pelvic fins that are longer than the length of its head, and that become more proportional as the fish grows. At any size, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Allothunnus
The slender tuna, ''Allothunnus fallai'', is a species of tuna, the only species in the genus ''Allothunnus'', found around the world in the southern oceans between latitudes 20° and 50° South, although there are two records of probable vagrants, one in Los Angeles Harbour and the other from the North Pacific subarctic gyre. It has a more elongated body than other species of tuna with which it is symaptric such as the albacore The colour is blue-black on the back with silvery greyish-white sides, however some individuals have a coppery sheen soon after capture. It has a small second dorsal and anal fins resembling a small albacore, but the slender tuna lacks the long sweeping pectoral fins characteristic of albacores. The pectoral fins and pelvic fins are purple on their distal portions and black near their bases. Its length is up to and it can weigh up to . It occasionally forms schools and its main prey is krill but it is also known to prey on squid and smaller fishes, su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
