NEW YORK - Mackerel is in but octopus is out. Also, bluefin tuna, known as the king of sushi for its fatty belly meat, is a definite no-no.

These tips and others on ocean-friendly sushi are now available in pocket guides that are being published this month by three conservation groups.

The sustainability guides are the first specifically for sushi, listing fish by their Japanese and English names.

"The sushi industry as a whole is probably pretty far behind the curve," said Trevor Corson, author of "The Story of Sushi" and a contributor to one of the guides, produced by the Blue Ocean Institute.

The three guides, published by the East Norwich, N.Y.-based institute, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Environmental Defense Fund, will be introduced next week at the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan.
