Western Atlantic sea bream is a marine fish with a tall rhomboid body and dark vertical stripes. It lives in warm coastal waters and feeds on both plant and animal food.
The Western Atlantic sea bream differs from other sea breams in its rhomboid body shape and striped coloration. It is important for nature because it controls the growth of algae and the population of mollusks and serves as food for larger predatory fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
