The Mediterranean horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) has been managed as a single stock in the Black Sea and adjacent regions, and its genetic structure has been under debate for decades, emphasising the necessity for additional research to validate

A preliminary assessment of stock size and status of Trachurus mediterraneus and T. trachurus species were investigated via virtual population and yield prediction analyses using onboard collected length-frequency data from Northeastern Mediterranean.

Trachurus mediterraneus is captured as by catch by the fishing fleet in the Spanish Mediterranean and usually landed as the global category of Trachurus spp., consequently there is a prominent lack of biological data on this species. The knowledge
