Description
The Yellowback Seabream (*Dentex hypselosomus*) is a large marine fish primarily found in the Western Pacific. Known for its reddish-silver body and a yellowish tint on its back, it is highly valued as a food fish in East Asian cuisine. Due to its significant adult size and specific marine requirements, it is not typically kept in home aquariums.
