The Horse Mackerel are pelagic fish that stay near the surface. In the summer they lay numerous small eggs. Each female lays about 140,000 eggs which float to the surface along with the plankton. The small, yellowish or reddish Horse Mackerel gather and spend the first year of their life beneath the hood of the jellyfish kotylorriza fymatioforos (cotylorhizatuberculata).
