    Nice. It is like their tails are pointing to each other and saying "This Way!", good job. Posted 11 years ago

The Yellowtail horse mackerel

The yellowtail horse mackerel, ''Trachurus novaezelandiae'', is a jack in the family Carangidae found around Australia and New Zealand at depths of up to 500 m. Its length is up to 50 cm.

The yellowtail horse mackerel is very similar to the greenback horse mackerel but has 68 to 73 lateral line scutes, compared with 76 to 82 for the greenback horse mackerel.
