Conventional narratives explain fish migrations in term of requirements (food, mates, habitats, etc.), with adequate temperatures being optional. Here, using the example of a (commercially extinct) stock of Black Sea mackerel (Scomber scombrus), we suggest that seasonal migrations are driven by seasonal temperature cycles. Therein, temperature acts as a constraint determining where the fish can be at any given time, and not a one of several factors which they would consider when choosing between alternative migration routes. Generalizing, we suggest that temperature should generally be an explicit part of hypotheses about the migratory behaviours of marine fishes. For illustration of what may occur when this is not the case, it is suggested that the non-consideration of temperature in a model of North Atlantic mackerel migration may have led, among the researchers concerned, to a sense of complacency with respect to the climate change-induced changes in the phenology of this fish in the North Atlantic, whose distribution and migration are misleadingly seen as “stochastic”.

Abstract In July 2002, two commercial vessels were used to study the distribution of Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus L.) during their feeding migration in the eastern part of the Norwegian Sea between 62°N and 70°N. Pelagic trawling and school tracking with SIMRAD 24–36 kHz sonar demonstrated that the stock was distributed throughout the study area. Information about time, geographic position, size, depth, speed, and direction was stored for each school during tracking. This study reports analyses of data from 63 schools that were tracked for 30 s or longer. All schools were recorded at depths of less than 100 m, and the majority (65%) were found between the surface and 40 m. The direction of migration (north 0° ± 22.5°, northeast 45° ± 22.5°, etc.) was non-random, with east and west as dominant swimming directions. School size and migration speed varied from 1 to 7000 tonnes and 0 to 6 m s−1, respectively. Methodological improvements are discussed.

The migration pattern and fate of cells of the occipital somites and overlying ectoderm have been described for the chick embryo with particular reference to the development of the hypoglossal musculature. Tritium-labelled thymidine (0·5–10 µCi per egg) was used as a cell-specific marker. Occipital somites (2–5) with overlying ectoderm were transplanted orthotopically from labelled donor embryos to unlabelled host embryos (Hamburger & Hamilton, stage 9–10). The embryos were incubated, for varying lengths of time (24 h-5 days), sacrificed, sectioned and the migration pattern and fate of the labelled cells determined radioautographically. It appears that the hypoglossal as well as other hypopharyngeal musculature originates from the occipital somites. The mesodermal migration pattern extended from the occipital somite region in a ventroposterior direction to the dorsal surface of the pericardial cavity posterior to the expanded portion of the pharynx. At this position a so-called hypoglossal cord formed on each side which ran anteriorly to the level of the second pharyngeal pouch where it turned medially and together with the cord from the other side entered the pharyngeal area of the embryo. This material apparently forms the intrinsic musculature of the tongue. The mesodermal movements are attributed to differential growth movements of the areas concerned as well as to active cell mutiplication and migration. Selective embryonic neuronal staining was undertaken to study the relationship between the migrating hypoglossal cord and nerve. The cord preceded the nerve in its migration. There is an occipital somitic contribution to the primitive meninx, to the endothelial walls of developing blood vessels, possibly to microglial cells and to the cartilage surrounding the notocord. The occipital ectoderm expands dorso-anteriorly and ventro-laterally. In the ventro-lateral position as contact is made with the pharyngeal endoderm a placode is formed which contributes cells to the nodose ganglion of the tenth cranial nerve. There is no other contribution of the ectoderm to the underlying tissues.

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.
