Tabby cat or "hypermelanistic" allele, "a", does not. Solid-color (black or blue) cats have the "aa" combination, hiding the tabby pattern, although sometimes a suggestion of the underlying pattern can be seen (called "ghost striping") This pattern is mostly seen in young cats that still have the baby coat. The right pattern (Classic, Mackerel, or Spotted) will reveal itself then, because that is independent of whether it is tabby or solid. However, the agouti gene only controls the production of black pigment, so a cat with an "O" allele for orange color will still have the tabby pattern. As a result, both

They prefer clear water, and are frequently found around islands. Although mackerel scad have been found at the surface, they are usually caught at depths between 40 and 200 meters. They feed mainly on zooplankton. Mackerel scad are fairly important both to fisheries and to sportfishing. They can be used as food, but are known to carry ciguatera, and are more often used as bait, since large gamefish such as the blue-spotted grouper,
