Apparently not, and yeah it's copyrighted... It's also about the wrong fish, it's about Scomber colias, the Atlantic chub, with outdated information. I'm going to hit the delete button for now, not certain if that's the right thing to do but it's easily reverted...PJFraser (talk) 16:48, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

The pacific mackerel is widely distributed, usually found in the northwestern, southeastern, and northeastern pacific. In the eastern pacific it can be found anywhere from central Mexico to Southeastern Alaska. The Chub Mackerel are very abundant south of Point Conception, CA. Pacific Mackerel are generally found within 20 miles off coast in waters between 50 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Young mackerels like to live around sandy beaches or kelp beds, while adults are found in deeper waters in shallow banks anywhere up to 1000 feet of depth. Pacific Mackerels school with other pelagic species as well such as other types of mackerels and sardines. During summer Pacific Mackerels like to travel north and south during winter.[1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by NickPopoy (talk • contribs) 15:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
"Distribution
Temperate Atlantic Ocean, north to outer Nova Scotia and to the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the west, to the British Isles in the east. It is represented in the Pacific by a close ally."
Is the pacific Chub Mackerel not called S. japonicus and the Atlantic Chub Mackerel S. Colias?Also I don't really think refering to it as an "ally" is correct.

The article text says that S. japonicus has dusky blotches on its belly ... which are not present in the article illustration. Maybe substitute this one?

I'm not sure how this statement makes any sense: "The chub mackerel has a well-developed swim bladder attached with the esophagus, which the "true mackerels" in the genus Scomber lack." The chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) *is* a member of the genus Scomber, and hence a "true mackerel"!?2604:3D08:2D7A:F400:48D2:90C1:3311:B50B (talk) 04:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
