Abstract

Scientists of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) have identified a new species of mackerel in Kerala waters. The black-spotted new fish, identified by a team led by principal scientist E M Abdussamad, is named Indian chub mackerel (Scomber indicus). It was found in the study that the new species is distinctly different from other members of the mackerel family both taxonomically and genetically. In local parlance, the fish is known as pulli ayala or pulli thiriyan.
