Biology:Scomberomorus

From HandWiki

Scomberomorus is a genus of ray-finned bony fish in the mackerel family, Scombridae. More specifically, it is a member of the tribe Scomberomorini, commonly known as the Spanish mackerels.

Species

Scomberomorus includes 19 species:[1][2]

The following fossil species are also known:[4]

  • Scomberomorus avitus Bannikov, 1985 - earliest Eocene (Ypresian) of Turkmenistan
  • Scomberomorus bleekeri (Storms, 1897) - early to middle Eocene of the eastern United States (Alabama, Virginia, New Jersey)[5][6]
  • Scomberomorus dumonti (van Beneden, 1871) - Oligocene of France[7]
  • Scomberomorus lingulatus (von Meyer, 1847) - Oligocene of France & Germany[7][8]
  • Scomberomorus saevus Bannikov, 1982 - late Eocene (Priabonian) of Kazakhstan
  • Scomberomorus stormsi (Leriche, 1905) - early to middle Eocene of the eastern United States (Alabama, Virginia, New Jersey)[5][6]

The fossil species S. bartonensis (Woodward, 1901) and S. excelsus (Woodward, 1901) from the early Eocene-aged London Clay are known from non-diagnostic material and thus their status as distinct species is uncertain, although they are at least considered a representative of the genus as Scomberomorus "sp. 1".[4][9] Another undescribed fossil Scomberomorus known from indeterminate remains is S. "sp. 2" from the Early Miocene of Malta.[4]

As food

Scomberomorus are consumed in Taiwan and Chaoshan as Majiao Yu (simplified Chinese: 马鲛鱼; traditional Chinese: 馬鮫魚) or Tutuo Yu (Chinese: 土魠魚), often prepared pan-fried or deep-fried and then served with soup.[10][11] In Jiaodong Peninsula, they are known as Ba Yu (Chinese: 鲅鱼) and used as fillings in dumplings.[12] In Japan, they are known as Sawara (サワラ) and often prepared grilled or as Sashimi.[13]
