I have discovered what appears to be a duplicate article and would like to propose a merging of the two articles:

The former has more content but I believe the latter title would be more appropriate as it is more descriptive and is also the common name listed on the Scombridae page. I am not a fish expert, just an ordinary editor trying to tidy things up, so would appreciate some feedback from someone more knowledgeable than myself on whether this would be the correct course of action to take. Thanks! If there is no response made here within a week or two I will probably go ahead and merge the two articles. --Velvet-Glove 18:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I have now merged Spanish Mackerel into the Atlantic Spanish mackerel article, as proposed above. I'm still not sure about the migration info in the introductory paragraph but have left it as it was. The photograph links at the bottom point to images hosted outside Wikipedia - perhaps the owner of the photos would be good enough to upload them to Wiki Images, I don't believe it is my place to do this. --Velvet-Glove 23:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
