The Sea Otter has a highly flexible diet, but the focus is on slower moving fishes and crustaceans. The Mackerel is not a "slower moving fish". They are a streamlined fish that is considered by many to be a good sport fish, due to it's speed and aggressive nature. But the Otter diet would include crabs, sea urchins, mussels, clams, abalones, snails, and other marine invertebrates, as well as the slower, smaller fish. The Otter species seem to take advantage of the region they inhabit, and the seasons. Even when two species overlap territory there doesn't appear to be any serious competition for prey due to their adaptations and the species specific diet requirements.
