==Taxonomy and phylogeny==
The Mediterranean horse mackerel was first [[scientific description|described]] in 1868 by [[Austria]]n [[ichthyologist]], [[zoologist]], and [[herpetologist]] Franz Steindachner, who gave it the name ''Caranx trachurus mediterraneus''. It was also described two other times

==Distribution and habitat==
[[File:Black Sea map.png|thumb|left|Map of the Black Sea region
The Mediterranean horse mackerel is found in [[subtropical]] waters throughout the eastern Atlantic Ocean from the Bay of Biscay to Mauritania, as well as the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean archipelago, the Black Sea, the Propontis or [[Sea of Marmara]], and the southwestern Sea of Azov. Its [[latitude|latitudinal]] range extends from [[49th parallel north|49°N]] to [[28th parallel north|28°N]] and its [[longitude|longitudinal]] range extends from [[13th meridian west|13°W]] to [[43rd meridian east|43°E]].<ref name=fishbase>{{FishBase

Like other mackerels, the Mediterranean horse mackerel's reproduction is [[oviparous]]. Its reproductive cycle is divided into three distinct stages, the

[[File:Poissons au marché 3.JPG|thumb|right|Mediterranean horse mackerel are an important economic resource in the Mediterranean Sea.<ref name=turan/>]]
The Mediterranean horse mackerel is an important resource in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea region.<ref name=turan/> It makes up 54% of catches in the Black Sea and 39% in the Sea of Marmara. In the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, it only totals 3-4% of annual catches. Fixed nets and [[seine fishing|seine]]s are common methods used to catch Mediterranean horse mackerel.<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021" /> Along with ''T. trachurus'', it is one of two ''Trachurus'' species in the Mediterranean. Because it forms dense schools and lives in shallower waters, the Mediterranean horse mackerel is the more commonly caught species.<ref name=artüz>{{cite journal |last=Artüz |first=M.
