Abstract
The rough scad,Trachurus lathami Nichols, is recorded from the Maryland part of Chesapeake Bay for the first time. It was captured in a trawl towed at a depth of 60 feet on July 21, 1958 at a salinity of about 14 ppt. The specimen was 102 mm standard length, apparently from age group I based on scale examination, and somewhat smaller than average size.
