The chemical components and body color of horse mackerel caught between July 1997 and May 2000 were studied. The fish were caught with small- to medium-sized purse seine off-shore from Nagasaki and from Tsushima, and with bull trawl seine and medium- to large-sized purse seine in the East China Sea. The crude lipid content of the fish caught offshore from Tsushima was higher than that of the others, and there were no significant differences among the other catches. The extractive nitrogen content of the fish caught with bull trawl seine was somewhat lower than that of the others. The body colors of the fish differed from those suggested by their common names: Kuroaji (black), Kiaji (yellow), and Shiroaji (white). The crude lipid content and body color indicated that there was no difference in quality among the catches, with the exception of the crude lipid content of the Tsushima catch.
