temperate waters; in western North Pacific as far north as Japan (Senou in Nakabo 2002) and southern<br />
Kuril Islands (Savinykh 1998); in eastern Pacific from northern British Columbia (54°35'N, 31°00'W;<br />
Nagtegaal and Farlinger 1981) to Chile, including Gulf <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> (Miller and Lea 1972), Islas Galápagos<br />

al. (2004) changed the <strong>of</strong>ficial common name from Yellowtail to Yellowtail Jack, but West Coast fishers<br />
and researchers may be reluctant to adopt the change. Seriola dorsalis (Gill, 1863) is treated as a junior<br />
synonym. Also recently as S. lalandi dorsalis.<br />
Seriola rivoliana Valenciennes, 1833. Almaco Jack or Pacific Amberjack. To 157 cm (61.8 in) TL in Franke<br />

<strong>California</strong> to Pucusana, Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998), including Gulf <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> (Robertson<br />

Trachurus symmetricus (Ayres, 1855). Jack Mackerel. To 81.3 cm (32 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Pacific<br />
Ocean south <strong>of</strong> Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002 [UW 15469]) and in Gulf <strong>of</strong> Alaska to Gulf<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> (Smith-Vaniz in Fischer et al. 1995). Primarily pelagic, surface (Miller and Lea 1972) from<br />
surf zone (Carlisle et al. 1960) and <strong>of</strong>fshore to 403 m (1,320 ft [220 fm]), sometimes taken in bottom<br />
trawls (Hart 1973). Although Trachurus murphyi Nichols, 1920, found <strong>of</strong>f South America, is considered<br />
by some authors (e.g., Grove and Lavenberg 1997) to be a subspecies <strong>of</strong> T. symmetricus, DNA evidence<br />
indicates it is a separate species (Poulin et al. 2004).<br />

secunda (Poey, 1860) may be a junior synonym (Smith-Vaniz in Carpenter and Niem 1999, Smith-Vaniz<br />
in Carpenter 2003).<br />
