Mackerel in North Atlantic

[peabody]

I was just looking through the boat since I have some maxed on quotas and noticed the Lunar Bow is the only boat that lists Mackerel,why is that?

I ask the devs that same question & they are looking into setting up longline/net fishing for mackerel. I put to them as Mackerel is the cheapest earning fish why do I need 21 million dollar boat to fish for them. the 2.2 mil storage would earn you about 2.2 mil gross per trip, so about 10 trip to recover base cost of fishing vessel.

Exactly,even though I didn't state it, the price was kind of what triggered the question. Buying such an expensive ship to catch the cheapest fish in the game. Now to be fair the price for mackerel on my game right now is $2.99 and I find the prices are usually higher then the "fish prices" window and add on the port reputation it may make more money but still not much more.
