sealord > I photographed this pomfret, Taractes asper, in the Municipal fish market, Mercado dos Lavradores, in central Funchal, Madeira.  This species, which an FAO publication calls 'flathead pomfret' and the Collins Pocket Guide to Fish of Britain & Europe calls 'rough pomfret', has a shorter pectoral fin (less than 36% of standard length) than Taractes rubescens.   The first few anal fin rays are also much longer than the same rays in Taractes rubescens.  Taractes asper also doesn't posses the raised ridge of scales on the caudal peduncle.

sealord > A box of striped beak-perch, ishidai, Oplegnathus fasciatus, on display at a middleman's stand in the Great Tsukiji wholesale fish market in Tokyo, Japan.  Ishidai are very good food fish and they are popular with anglers too.  Besides the wild catch they are also farm raised.  Their strong coalesced teeth are ideal for cracking open the shells of barnacles and gastropods.  Photographed in December 1988.
