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 landed by commercial fishermen (see graph on the right). Sport fishermen value the fighting abilities of the king mackerel. Over 30 different species, principally belonging to the family Scombridae, are commonly referred to as mackerel. The term "mackerel" means "marked" or "spotted", and derives from the Old French "maquerel", around 1300, meaning a pimp or procurer. The connection is not altogether clear, but mackerel spawn enthusiastically in shoals near the coast, and medieval ideas on animal procreation were creative. About 21 species in the family Scombridae are commonly called mackerel. The type species for the scombroid mackerel is the Atlantic
