Scomberomorus avirostrus, also known as Arabian sparrow seer,[1] is a species of mackerel found on the coast of India and pelagic waters of the Indian Ocean, formerly confused with the Indo-Pacific king mackerel,[2][3] due to the painted pattern on its body and shape. It was described based on specimens fished in Indian Ocean waters previously cataloged as Scomberomorus guttatus (Indo-Pacific king mackerel), but a phylogenetic analysis was carried out that showed mitochondrial divergence with the other species.[1][3][4]
