sealord > A saddled bream, Oblada melanura, caught off the concrete harbour wall of Ribeira Brava on Madeira's south coast to the west of Madeira's capital, Funchal.  This fish was captured recreationally.  I wasn't able to examine the teeth of this fish so I based identification on the number of lateral line scales.  The saddled bream has 64 to 67 lateral line scales to the caudal base whereas the annular bream, which also has a dark band on the caudal peduncle, has only 48 to 56 lateral line scales to the caudal base.  This fish has the required number of lateral line scales to be a saddled bream.

sealord > This redbanded seabream, Sparus auriga, was imported from Senegal into Fulton Fish Market, New York in February 1989.  The European sea breams are called porgies in the USA.  They belong to the family sparidae.  The most common USA porgy in the western Atlantic is the scup. Porgies or seabreams become more diverse towards the equator but each species is less abundant than the porgy or seabream species from the higher latitudes.
