Description
Length: up to 45cm / Habitat: Rocky bottoms.
Diplodus sargus, called White seabream and Sargo, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans. It is
found from the Bay of Biscay southwards to South Africa, including Madeira and the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and (rarely) the Black
Sea. Occasionally individuals are found off the Indian Ocean coasts of South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar, and they are very rarely
found elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, such as off Oman. An active fish, they inhabit the surf zone, but they may be found down to 50 m.
They consume small crustaceans, mollusks and some seaweed and coral, using their strong jaws to crush shells. Individuals can reach 45 cm,
but average 22 cm.
Diplodus sargus are protandrous hermaphrodites, with individuals starting out life as males, and some becoming female later on.
It is commercially fished, with 3,713 t taken in 2008. Some are reared using aquacultural techniques. The catch is eaten immediately or marketed
locally, as the flesh tastes good only when fresh.

Length: up to 30 cm / Habitat: Rocky and sandy bottoms with sea grass meadows.
Diplodus vulgaris can reach a length of about 45 centimetres (18 in) with maximum recorded weight of 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb). Body is generally
grey-silver, with two well-defined vertical black bands, one close to the gills and one in the rear of the body, just before the base of the caudal fin.
Another black stripe, less pronounced, is present near the eyes. There are golden lines along the body, typically on the back.
Lips are rather thick. In each jaw, there are 8 narrow, light-brownish incisors. In the western Mediterranean, it reproduces in October and
November and in the eastern Mediterranean in December and January.
It is a gregarious species, sometimes forming groups composed even by many specimens. In the shallows, it often creates smaller groups even
with other similar species. Adults feed on benthic invertebrates, crustaceans, worms and mollusks.
This species is widespread in the Mediterranean Sea, in the Black Sea and in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, at depths of 0 to 160 m, more
commonly between 0 and 30 m.
It inhabits rocky, sandy bottoms and seagrass beds. On sandy bottoms, it can be often found following species that dig the sand and trying to
steal their food.

It has a fuse-shaped blueish-silver body, with a black spot near the tail. The maximum length recorded for this species is 34 centimetres (13 in),
and maximum recorded weight is 0.6 kilograms (1.3 lb). Commonly specimens are around 20 centimetres (7.9 in). The mouth is relatively small,
with lower jaw being little bit in front of the upper jaw.
It is a gregarious fish, spawning in June and July. The saddled seabream is an omnivorous fish, but feeds mainly on small invertebrates.
It is found over seagrass and rocky bottoms in the Mediterranean Sea, Bay of Biscay, Madeira, Cape Verde, Canary Islands and Strait of
Gibraltar to Angola.
It can be found between 0 and 30m, but more commonly between 5 and 20m. Often can be found near surface, not far away from the shore.

Sarpa salpa, known commonly as the salema, salema porgy, cow bream or goldline, is a species of sea bream, recognisable by the golden
stripes that run down the length of its body, and which can cause hallucinations when eaten. It is found in the East Atlantic, as well as the
Mediterranean, where it ranges from the Bay of Biscay to South Africa. It has occasionally been found as far north as Great Britain. It is generally
common and found from near the surface to a depth of 70 m (230 ft). Males are typically 15 to 30 cm (6–12 in) in length, while females are
usually 31 to 45 cm (12–18 in). The maximum size is 51 cm (20 in).

a more common size is 30 cm (12 in). Its head is about as long as it is high and its upper profile is slightly convex. The dorsal fin has eleven
spines and twelve to thirteen soft rays. The pectoral fin is shorter than the head and has fifteen to seventeen soft rays. The anal fin has three
spines and ten to eleven soft rays. The head and body are silver, the body being marked with about fourteen vertical dark bands

Boops boops (literally "cow-eye"), also called the bogue, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic. Its common name in all
languages refers to its large ("bug") eyes. It is found off the coasts of Europe, Africa, the Azores and the Canary Islands, from Norway to Angola,
and in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The species avoids brackish waters such as the Baltic Sea. A demersal and semi-pelagic feeder, it can
generally be found down to 100 m, and infrequently down to 350 m. It consumes seaweed, crustaceans, and some plankton, in schools that rise
to the surface at night. Individuals can reach 36 cm, but average 20 cm.
Sex determination in Boops boops is unclear. It has variously been described as a rudimentary intersex organism, with a few intersex individuals,
or a protogynic intersex, with individuals starting out life as females, and some becoming male later on.

The black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus) is a species of Sparidae fishes. They are recognisable by their oval compressed body and jaws
containing 4-6 rows of slender teeth which are larger at the front. They are silvery in colour with blue and pink tinges and broken longitudinal gold
lines. They can reach a maximum size of 60 cm in length. They live in northern Europe and in the Mediterranean, usually found on the inshore
shelf at depths varying from 5 to 300 m. They are usually found in schools feeding on seaweeds and invertebrates. They breed in February to
May leaving eggs in the demersal zone.
Black seabream are protogynous meaning females have the ability to change to males.
