SEA BREAM (SPARUS AURATA) The sea bream belongs to the Sparidae family, the Perciformes order and the Actinopterygii class. The Sparus aurata sea bream is a species of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the two main farmed species in the Mediterranean and Greek sea fish farms. It is characterize by a tall and flat body, a tall and curved back, a thin tail stem, large comb scales, a dorsal fin with 11 hard and 13 soft spikes, a brown-black spot on the gill cover and a flat gold mark, its "brow". Its mouth is slightly protruding. The species are carnivorous, but their teeth are adapted to crush the shells of shellfish, which are their favourite food. Its natural environment is often brackish and sea waters, in regions with sea fields, individually, or at small schools. We find it in the east shores of the Atlantic Ocean, from the United Kingdom to Senegal. It is a very common species in the Mediterranean. It is more rarely seen in the Black Sea, but it does not reproduce there. The largest sea bream that has been fished, had a total length of 79cm and weighted 17.2 kg. Its life time seabreamhas not been determined, the oldest one that has been reported was 11 years old. The sea bream is a species characterized by fast growth, resistant to the changes in the biochemical parameters of the farm water and an excellent quality of meat, which are the factors that contribute to the financial interest of its farming.
