Tabby cat or Sp/Sp together with Mc/mc and Mc/Mc and A/a and A/A. The Ticked tabby pattern is on a different gene locus than the Mackerel and Classic tabby patterns, and is epistatic to the other patterns. A dominant mutation, "T / t", masks any other tabby pattern, producing a non-patterned, or agouti tabby, with virtually no stripes or bars. If the Ticked tabby pattern gene is present, any other tabby pattern is masked. Cats homozygous for the ticked allele ("T / T") have less barring than cats heterozygous for the ticked allele. When a cat of this genetic make-up is selectively
Mackerel 300,000 and 1,500,000 eggs. Their eggs and larvae are pelagic, that is, they float free in the open sea. The larvae and juvenile mackerel feed on zooplankton. As adults they have sharp teeth, and hunt small crustaceans such as copepods, as well as forage fish, shrimp and squid. In turn they are hunted by larger pelagic animals such as tuna, billfish, sea lions, sharks and pelicans. Off Madagascar, spinner sharks follow migrating schools of mackerel. Bryde's whales feed on mackerel when they can find them. They use several feeding methods, including skimming the surface, lunging, and bubble nets. Chub mackerel,
