Any theories on why scombs generally die after reaching 12" in captivity?

Are you thinking of the right scomb? Hydrolycus scomberoides is completely fw

i think it may be like the same with green spotted or other brackish fish that they start in freshwater then migrate to saltier waters? 1 or 2 years is generally how long a green s potted puffer or a freshwater moray can survive in freshwater(but only in the highest quality freshwater like the kind you would use for scombs)

I'm pretty sure he's taking about scats.
