Abstract
The commercial fishery for the South African horse mackerel Trachurus capensis began in 1950. Horse mackerel are exploited by four fleets: purse-seine, offshore demersal, inshore demersal, and midwater trawl. Characterisation of the catches by these sectors is complex. A brief summary will be given here, and will be described in more detail later.
