King mackerel — size comparison — facts and sources
The king mackerel lives in the western Atlantic and often occurs around outer reef areas. It forms schools that may travel considerable distances along coasts. Water temperature influences access to successive areas.
It feeds chiefly on fish, supplemented by shrimp and squid. A long, narrow body and powerful tail favour pursuit. Coastal fish schools provide hunting opportunities.
