| Re: Fish identification needed Quote:
If you compare it with Twiddler's White Seabream Diplodus sargus you will see the White has alternate strong and weak narrow bands, whereas your Zebra (nice fish BTW) has six broad bands (including one above and almost through the eye) all of the same intensity. There are at least four common multibanded seabreams, each having several vertical bands, in the Canary region. In addition to the two mentioned above are the Sharpsnouted Seabream Diplodus puntazzo and the Striped Seabream Lithognathus mormyrus Thats only a start - there are lots more seabreams with one or two bands, or without any bands at all. Most locals refer to any banded bream as "sargo" __________________ RNLI Governor Nothing matters very much, few things matter at all - Plato ...only things like fresh bait and cold beer - Vagabond |
