Chub mackerel are widespread in the Indo-Pacific. They are absent from the Indian ocean except for South Africa from KwaZulu-Natal to Western Cape, and are replaced by the closely related Atlantic chub mackerel in the Atlantic. The chub mackerel is widely distributed, usually found in the northwestern, southeastern, and northeastern Pacific. In the eastern Pacific, it can be found anywhere from central Mexico to Southeastern Alaska. The chub mackerel are very abundant south of Point Conception, CA. Chub mackerel are generally found within 20 miles (37 km) off coast in waters between 50 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (10-22°C). Young mackerels like to live around sandy beaches or kelp beds, while adults are found in deeper waters in shallow banks anywhere up to 1000 feet (300 m) of depth. Chub mackerel school with other pelagic species as well such as other types of mackerels and sardines. During summer chub mackerels like to travel north and south during winter.
