	Researcher Focuses On Atka Mackerel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Atka mackerel is the only fish species in Alaska that is targeted by a major commercial trawl fishery and also exhibits a peculiar life history trait where males take care of the developing young for extended periods," Lauth explained.
		Lauth states that, "Atka mackerels are obviously visual animals," evidenced by their reliance on color in a ritualistic mating display, and on daily vertical migrations in response to light and darkness.
		If Atka mackerel are spawning as late as October, and if the ocean's temperature at a nesting site was around 4°, Lauth believes it is possible that males could be confined to their nesting territory for up to 7 months, from June to January.
