Wrong.
Jack mackerel are in the family carangidae w yellowtail.
Green mackerel are in Scombridae w tunas.
Edit: And everyone gets bonus point if they QUIT using Spanish to describe jack macks.
In Australia, a Spanish mackerel is like a King mackerel in the Atlantic. In the Atlantic a Spanish mackerel is like a Sierra mackerel, or a spotted mackerel in Australia. All in the tuna family.
