The island mackerel (Rastrelliger faughni) is a species of true mackerel in the scombrid family (Scombridae) from the Indo-Pacific.[1][2] Their maximum reported length is 20 cm, and the maximum reported weight is 0.75 kg.[3]
While the FAO report no commercial landings of island mackerel,[4] the IUCN reports that it is a targeted fishery species. However, in the landings statistics, it is reported together with the other Rastrelliger species.[1]
