Decapterus Macarellus
The mackerel scad (''Decapterus macarellus''), or speedo, is a species of fish of the family, Carangidae. While it can be considered gamefish, it is usually used as bait. It is popular for consumption in Hawaiʻi, the Philippines and the U.A.E. In Hawaiʻi, mackerel scad are called ʻopelu. In the Philippines they are called galunggong. Description The largest mackerel scad recorded was 46 cm long.Jiménez Prado, P. & P. Béarez, 2004. Peces Marinos del Ecuador continental. Tomo 2: Guía de Especies / Marine fishes of continental Ecuador. Volume 2: Species Guide. SIMBIOE/NAZCA/IFEA Their elongated bodies look somewhat circular when viewed head on. They are distinguishable by a small, detached fin, located between the dorsal and caudal fins. Mackerel scad have 9 spines and 31–36 rays on their dorsal fins, while there are seven spines and 27–30 rays on their anal fins. The mackerel scad's fins are black metallic to blue-green and its belly is white. The edge of the op ...

Although the round scad is considered a good food fish,Cervigón, F., 1993. Los peces marinos de Venezuela. Volume 2. Fundación Científica Los Roques, Caracas,Venezuela. 497 p. it is mostly caught for use as bait. Description The round scad is a cigar-shaped fish, with greenish coloration on top and white below. Their opercles usually have a small, black spot.Smith-Vaniz, W.F., 1986. Carangidae. p. 638–661. In M.M. Smith and P.C. Heemstra (eds.) Smiths' sea fishes. Springer-Verlag, Berlin. The round scad has nine spines on its dorsal fin and 30 to 34 soft rays. Their anal fins have only three spines and 26–29 soft rays. Round scad often have a yellow stripe running from the head to the caudal peduncle. The longest round scad recorded was 30 centimeters long,Berry, F.H. and W.F. Smith-Vaniz, 197 ...
