Sierra del Pacifico
Scomberomorus Sierra
Pacific Mackerel grow fast, up to 25 inches and more than 6 pounds.
They can live up to 18 years but are able to reproduce by age 4, and sometimes as early as age 1.
They spawn at different times of the year, depending on where they live. Pacific mackerel spawn from late April to September off California, year-round off central Baja California peaking from June through October, and from late fall to early spring off Cabo San Lucas.
They spawn several times a year, releasing batches of almost 70,000 eggs each time. The eggs usually hatch within 4 to 5 days.
Pacific Mackerel feed on plankton (tiny floating plants and animals) and the younger stages of all the pelagic species such as anchovies and sardines, as well as their own young
