Top Talang Queenfish Fishing Countries

The Talang Queenfish (Scomberoides commersonnianus) is a large, predatory marine fish found throughout the warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific region, recognized for its silvery body and distinctive spots along its flanks. Highly prized by both commercial and recreational anglers for its fighting ability and quality flesh, the Talang Queenfish supports significant fisheries in several countries. Australia, India, Indonesia, and countries in the Persian Gulf, such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, are among the top nations harvesting this species. In these regions, the fish is caught using a variety of methods including gillnets, handlines, and trolling, with much of the catch consumed locally or sold fresh in regional markets. The Talang Queenfish plays an important role in coastal fisheries, providing livelihoods for small-scale fishers and contributing to the diversity of seafood available in these countries.
