| September 18, 2012, 08:21:52 CET Latest reply I had: Dear Reno, I take it you received the message below. Since I sent it, I have done some more research. If the fish is indeed a species of Pomadasys then it is interesting for several reasons. There are three species of this genus in the Mediterranean. One is native and is found in the western Mediterranean btu has not been recorded from Malta. The other two are Red Sea species that have entered the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal and are not known from the central Mediterranean. There is another possibility and this is that the species is a new one for the Mediterranean. So you see, whatever it is, it is interesting. The problem is that these fish have many different colour varaieties and cannot be identified from colour alone. For a certain identification one needs to examine the scales and the rays and spines on the fins as well as the pores on the face. This can only be done on an actual fish, not on a photograph. Therefore, I cannot get any further without an actual specimen. However, if the fish is indeed a species of Pomadasys then there is a strong possibility that others will be found as these fish live in groups. Would you please therefore alert your colleagues that if anybody captures another of these fish (I am assuming that the fish in the photograph is not available), I would very much like to examine it as part of my research on the changing marine life around Malta. Your help in this is much appreciated. Best wishes, PJ |

| September 16, 2012, 23:09:44 CET I asked a Profs J. Schembri and this was his reply: Thank you for bringing this fish to my attention. I admit that I could not identify it at all from the image and I had to consult with an expert on Mediterranean fish. He could not identify it either because the image does not show key characters such as the fins with their spines, but he thinks it is a member of the family Haemulidae and possibly a species of Pomadasys (the Grunts). As far as I am aware, there are no records of any species of this family from Malta so this is worth pursuing further. Therefore, can you please see if there are more images of the fish and if the fish itself is still available? I would also greatly appreciate any data on the collected fish such as general locality, depth, how the fish was collected and whether it was solitary or there were others. |

| September 12, 2012, 13:31:34 CET His tail can't be that of a gurbell cos it's V shaped. It's shape looks like that of a bream. |

| September 11, 2012, 07:56:19 CET From the shape of the body, especially of the mouth is very likely to be some type of bream in fact as one can notice is very similar to the saddled bream. But I don't think it is a corb 'gurbell'. From its characteristics is very similar to the yellowfin bream found in Australia. |
