Description
The Bluespotted Seabream is a large, silvery marine fish characterized by its robust body and often faint blue spots on its flanks. It inhabits rocky and sandy bottoms in coastal waters, feeding on a variety of benthic invertebrates and small fish. This species is popular in commercial fisheries and can be a challenging but rewarding display fish for very large public aquariums.
