Seriolella punctata

SPECIES NAME(s)

Silver warehou

COMMON NAMES

Spotted warehou, Mackerel trevalla

Globally, Seriolella punctata can be found throughout the southern hemisphere 33–47° S in waters less than approximately 600 m deep. The distribution of adult silver warehou in Australian waters are along the south east coast from South Australia to New South Wales and Tasmania. A study has been completed on the stock structure of silver warehou using genetics (mitochondrial DNA), morphology, otolith shape and otolith microchemistry (Robinson et al. 2008). Results did not indicate the presence of separate stocks east and west of Bass Strait, although there were indications of some structuring around Tasmania. This study, together with other information, suggests that silver warehou should be considered as a single biological stock in the SESSF (Morison et al. 2013).

Silver warehou are predominantly caught in the Commonwealth Trawl Sector of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery. They are most commonly caught between 100 and 700 metres (Patterson et al. 2016).

Silver warehou is caught entirely by trawl in the CTS and has been a targeted species throughout most of the history of the fishery (Patterson et al. 2016).
