                  Information: | 
                  Very common on all coasts 
                    in summer when they can be taken by both boat and shore anglers 
                    in very large numbers at times. Easily identified by dark, 
                    wavy stripes of green upper body and silver undersides. Mackerel 
                    are an important bait for other fish species.  |
