Dr Lockwood took over the UK’s mackerel research programme at a critical time and this enables him to give a unique review of events which led to the revival of the English mackerel fishery in the 70s. Historical background to the fishing methods used and the development of the European mackerel fishery is followed by details of the mackerel’s biology, life history and migratory habits. The second part deals with the size of the resource and the need for adequate management, discussing the many problems which can arise. The final chapter covers recent results and stock mackerel fishery regulations.
