Atlantic mackerel is Scomber scombrus. Slovenian and Croatian charts both say Skuša. AlgoCatch treats it as a shelf pelagic fish in the Adriatic. Public zone files mark it at Poreč and Rovinj on the Istria coast. The Habitat Checker does not list this species.
Also called Slovenian Skuša, Croatian Skuša, scientific name Scomber scombrus. The Italian common name is not in the AlgoCatch catalog.
Where it lives in the Adriatic
The published public zone files name two towns. Poreč has one mackerel polygon. Rovinj has one. Both are on the Istria coast. The species write-up for this fish sits with the other pelagics, not on its own species URL.
How AlgoCatch maps it
The Habitat Checker does not list Atlantic mackerel. A habitat score is a suitability match for a pin, not a count of fish. This page does not give mackerel a score.
Rules
Croatia and Slovenia publish minimum size and closed season in their own gazettes. AlgoCatch does not copy a centimetre or a month onto this page. The figures in circulation do not agree, and a stale number is worse than a pointer. Check the current text for the water you are on before you keep a fish.
