Although the background color of this species may vary, particularly in juveniles, the body and fins of the gray snapper are generally grey to green with a reddish tinge. On the sides of the fish, there are rows of small reddish to orange spots. The median fins are darker than the even fins, often bordered with yellow or white, and the pectoral fins are colorless. The rear edge of the anal fin is rounded. There is no black spot on the side of the body. Young gray snappers have a clearly visible dark band from the snout through the eye and a less visible blue band on the cheek under the eye.

The Spanish Mackerel belongs to the Scombridae family. It has an average length of 50 to 80 cm for 3.2 kg. The maximum length recorded is 120 cm. Its maximum lifespan is about 20 years. They spawn from April to September. It is fished from March to September. Spanish mackerel has the contours of slender mackerel rather than bonito, its body being nearly 4½ at 5 times longer than depth. its two dorsal fins (like those of bonitoes) are barely separated, and secondly, because of its colorful pattern, its high slender dorsal shape and spotted sides distinguish it at first sight from our bonitoes, while its thin shape, long first dorsal fin and second dorsal fin contour distinguish it from the small tuna. Spanish mackerel is dark blue-green or blue-green above, pale below, like all Scombridae, and silvery, with many small oblong oval, dull orange or yellowish spots on its sides above the lateral line and below, which are highly diagnostic in nature. The fact that the membrane of the front third of its first dorsal fin is black, while its back part is greenish white, is also useful. The second dorsal and pectoral fins are pale yellowish with dark margins; the anal and ventral fins are white.
