Japanese black porgy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Japanese black porgy or sea bream, Mylio macrocephalus or Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a fish often farmed for food in Japan.
The body is ovoid and compressed, and its streamlined body makes it a fast swimmer. The mouth is small, terminal and with many incisor-like canines. It is an aggressive predator. The dorsal fin has 10 to 12 spines and 10 to 15 soft rays, which are used for offence and defence.
