All mackerels are carnivores. Smaller species prefer to eat prawns and krill which are kinds of shrimp. Small mackerels are Atlantic mackerel, chub mackerel, blue mackerel and so on. Small ones also eat small fish like sardines and herring. Larger mackerel prefer to eat larger fish sometimes each other! Those larger mackerels are the Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, and wahoo.
Yes, they are because they eat other small fish and they also have very sharp teeth. I'm sure you knew, but you can tell if an animal is a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore just by examining its teeth. :)
