White seabream
Swim, Snorkel, Dive, See, Meet, Watch the White seabream
Solitary or in small shoals, the White seabream prefers rocky bottoms, from a few meters below the surface to 60 meters deep. As an adult, it can travel a great distance. Divers observe it particularly in marine reserves where it grows serenely and reproduces a lot. Its predators are grouper, conger eel, squid, cuttlefish and... the man who fishes for it locally.
This small fish, 15 to 30 cm in size, has a silvery body with darker vertical stripes. The tail and the lids are edged in black. It has a black spot at the base of its tail.

Food
White seabream is carnivorous and feeds on crustaceans, mollusks such as bivalves, algae and sea worms.
Breeding
The White seabream breeds in summer in the Mediterranean Sea. It is born male then becomes female. As spawning takes place in open water, the eggs and then the larvae which emerge from them will drift for a long time. Then, they return to the seabed, near jetties, dikes, in boulders, at shallow depths.
