The Australian spotted mackerel (Scomberomorus munroi) is a species of fish in the family Scombridae.
It is found in the western Pacific, along the northern coast of Australia, from the Abrolhos Islands region of Western Australia to Coffs Harbour and Kempsey in central New South Wales.
It is also found in southern Papua New Guinea from Kerema to Port Moresby.
It feeds largely on fishes, particularly anchovies and sardines, with smaller quantities of shrimps and squids.
[1] This species was described in 1980 and was previously confused with the Japanese Spanish mackerel of the north western Pacific but S. munroi has a different visceral structure, more vertebrae and fewer gill rakers.
