Identification clues
FAO describes Sparus aurata as a Mediterranean species with a golden band between the eyes and a dark mark on the gill cover. Local names vary. These clues do not replace full identification or checking local rules.
Useful questions
Does this guide authorise fishing there?
No. Check current rules and restrictions with the relevant local authority for the location, species and technique. A species guide or weather bulletin does not replace that check.
