King Mackerel
The king mackerel is a slender fish, only slightly compressed
(flattened) from side to side. The entire body is covered with very small,
hardly visible, loosely attached scales. The first (spiny) dorsal fin is
entirely colorless and is normally folded back into a body groove, as are
the pelvic fins. The lateral line starts high on the shoulder, dips abruptly
at mid-body and then continues as a wavy horizontal line to the tail.
Coloration is olive on the back fading to silver with a rosy iridescence on
the sides, fading to white on the belly. This is one of the most commonly
caught fish offshore in NC waters.
