The black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus) is a protogynous species of Sparidae fishes, recognisable by their oval, compressed body and jaws, which contain 4–6 rows of slender teeth that are larger at the front. They are silvery in colour with blue and pink tinges and broken longitudinal gold lines. They can reach a maximum size of 60 cm in length.
They live in northern Europe and in the Mediterranean, usually found on the inshore shelf at depths varying from 5 to 300 m. They are usually found in schools, feeding on seaweeds and invertebrates. They breed from February to May, leaving eggs in the demersal zone.
