摘要:The commercial mackerel fishery includes the taking of all
species of the genera Scomberomorus, Grammatorcynus and
Acanthocybium, but the main targeted species is Spanish mackerel
(Scomberomorus commerson). Mackerel are usually taken by
trolling close to the surface in coastal areas around reefs, shoals
and headlands, with jigs also used to capture grey mackerel
(Scomberomorus semifasciatus). Recreational fishers also use
methods such as shore-based drift fishing with balloons and spear
guns to target mackerel. The commercial fishery mainly operates
between Geraldton and the Western Australia/Northern Territory
border, with the largest catches taken off the Kimberley and Pilbara
coasts. The main area of the recreational fishery is Perth to Dampier.
