Biology & Behaviour

Biology & Identification

Trods navnet er hestemakrellen ikke i familie med den almindelige makrel. Navnet er nedsættende – i lighed med hesterejens navn – idet hestemakrellens kød er af langt ringere kvalitet end den rigtige makrel. Hestemakrellen kendes let på de store skæl, der sidder i to rækker på hver sin side af den krumme sidelinje. Hestemakrellen forekommer spredt i danske farvande og har sin største udbredelse i Sydatlanten og Middelhavet.
