Annular sea bream (Lat. Diplodus annularis). A coastal species that lives above the sandy and muddy bottom in shoals, less often rocky, and in seagrass meadows. It sets to a depth of 90 m and grows up to 24 cm (0.37 kg), usually 8-15 cm. The colour, bright silvery with a slight tendency to the yellow, gets more intense in the adults and reinforces with mimetic vertical dark bands when the animal is menaced. Adults feed on demersal invertebrates and juveniles on plant foods. It is fished with a hoe, tugs, stand, tip and small sport fishing tools.
