This study reports on the feeding selectivity of Atlantic mackerel, Scomber scombrus, on larval fish (3-10 mm in length) presented as part of natural zooplankton assemblages. As with other vertebrate planktivores, prey preference was positively size selective, contrary to the pattern observed for several invertebrate carnivores. Larval fish density did not significantly influence predation rates. Furthermore, there was no evidence of either switching or saturation of the predator's functional feeding response with changes in alternative prey abundance, again unlike invertebrate predators. A review of previous experiments revealed that capture success of larval fish by predators is a function of the size of larval fish relative to the size of the predator, independent of predator taxa (i.e. vertebrate versus invertebrate).

The microhabitat and morphology of Grubea cochlear (Monogenea), a rare gill parasite of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), were investigated for a sample of fourteen parasite individuals obtained from Lyme Bay, southern England. Grubea cochlear showed a preference for the inner hemibranch of the fourth gill arch, this localization contrasting with that of the related and sympatric species Kuhnia scombri. The morphology of G. cochlear in this sample differed slightly from some of the previously documented specimens, especially with regard to the number of small genital hooks and the relative size of the haptor. It is suggested that geographical morphological variation may occur in this species.
