| phylum | Chordata | The Japanese horse mackerel is a species named after mackerel in the family Carangidae. They are found around the coast of Japan, apart from Okinawa Island, usually on sandy bottoms between 50 and 275 metres deep. They feed mainly on small crustaceans such as copepods, and shrimps and small fish. They are similar to the yellowtail horse mackerel apart from having more gill rakers and larger eyes.
