Sustainability
Natural habitat
The sea bass lives in the Eastern Atlantic, between Morocco and Norway. It is also found in the Mediterranean and the Black sea. It is mainly found in British waters, especially the North Sea.
Life
Most sea bass live in small shoals in shallow, rocky coastal areas. In the winter, they head to deeper, warmer coastal areas.
Food
It eats small fish, crustaceans and squid.
Characteristics
The sea bass has an elongated body. Its back is dark grey, and its sides are lighter. The dark stripe on its side is clearly visible. The fish is easily recognisable thanks to a striking black spot on its gills.
Informations
As it ages, the sea bass becomes less sociable and separates from its shoal.
Fishing method
net enclosures
Net enclosures are installations for fish farming in natural waters such as ponds, rivers or the open sea. They consist of a buoyant carrier system and a net in which the fish are kept. Net enclosures facilitate feeding, inspection and harvesting without preventing the continuous exchange with the surrounding water and thus free fresh water supply.
