Spanish mackerel is not a deep-sea fish, but a shallow-sea fish, belonging to warm pelagic fish, with sharp teeth, fast swimming speed and fierce temperament. Generally, Spanish mackerel live in groups in the waters near Bohai Bay.
Habits of Spanish mackerel:
1, which belongs to pelagic fish and mainly swims in the middle of water.
Its ivory belly and blue-green back are its camouflage colors. Most pelagic fish in the ocean are of this color, because when the prey in the air, such as birds, look down, the blue-green fish back is consistent with the color of the sea water, so it is difficult to be found.
Benthic fish are white from bottom to top, and if their bellies are white, they are also hidden. Although they sometimes dive deep into the seabed to hunt, they still stay in the upper and middle waters for a long time.
2, feeding on small fish, like chasing live food, not interested in static and rotten food.
3. Keep swimming.
Unlike benthic fish, Spanish mackerel doesn't hide in caves on rocks, waiting for a small fish to come and suddenly open its mouth and swallow it. It must keep swimming, because once it stops swimming, it will lack oxygen. This is similar to a shark. Therefore, Spanish mackerel prefers flowing waters, so it can get enough oxygen without swimming hard.
4. Bite food.
There are four ways for fish to eat: swallowing, sucking and pecking. Spanish mackerel has sharp teeth, which shows that it mainly bites food. That is to say, when it meets its prey, it bites it first, tears it into pieces, and then swallows it into its stomach.
