Thee distribution and abundance of the Pacific mackerel (Scomber juponicus Houttuyn, 1782), derived from the analysis of 5.5 oblique tows made in the Gulf of California in January-February 1987, are presented. The reproductive biomass was estimated at 165,908 metric tons (MT), with a maximum sustainable yield of 16,518 MT if mortality (z) is 0.497.
