The saury (Cololabis adocetus) (not to be confused for the Pacific saury, which is related but a different species) is a member of the family Scomberesocidae, or the saury family. It is widespread in the Eastern Pacific in the surface waters, 0-0.5 m depth; its range can go as far as 1 meter in depth.[1] It can grow to a size of about 5 cm.[1] The saury generally lives in waters between 5 and 12 degrees C.[1] The saury is a highly migratory fish.[2]
