Diet of Scomber japonicus (Japanese Mackerel):
Basically mackerels are carnivores eating best foods around, like fatty small fish, like crustaceans, and like underdeveloped various fish too.
- Crustaceans: 45%
- Copepods (tiny crustaceans that are like tiny shrimp): 25%
- Euphausiids (small, shrimp-like crustaceans): 15%
- Other crustaceans (like crabs, lobsters, but much smaller): 5%
- Fish: 35%
- Small fish (like sardines, anchovies): 20%
- Fish larvae (baby fish, like tiny versions of larger fish): 10%
- Capelins: No, they don't typically eat capelins.
- Cephalopods (like squid, octopus): 10%
- Zooplankton (tiny, usually microscopic, crustaceans and other organisms): 5%
- Other food items: 5%
- Both species have similar diets, with a focus on small fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods, but Scomber scombrus tends to eat more small fish and squid.
