Acanthopagrus schlegelii, the blackhead seabream, black porgy or black seabream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies. This species is found in the Western Pacific Ocean. The blackhead seabream is an important species in commercial fisheries, particularly in Vietnam.
Acanthopagrus schlegeliiwas first formally described as Chrysophrys schlegelii in 1854 by the Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker with its type locality given as Nagasaki. [3] Some workers have suggested that there are two species within this taxon, A. schlegelii and A. czerskii, [4] while others treat these as subspecies within the same species. [5] Some authorities classify the genus Acanthopagrus in the subfamily Sparinae, [6] but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sparidae. [7]
Acanthopagrus schlegelii has a specific name that honours the German ornithologist and herpetologist Hermann Schlegel who co-wrote Fauna Japonica with Coenraad Jacob Temminck, a book Bleeker often cited. The subspecies A. s. czerskii honours the ornithologists Alexander Ivanovich Czerski, the son of Jan Czerski, a celebrated Polish geologist, naturalist and explorer, who collected the type specimen. [5]
Acanthopagrus schlegelii has its dorsal fin supported by 11 or 12 spines and 11 soft rays while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 8 soft rays. [2] This species differs from the other species in the gneus Acanthopagrus by having pale dorsal, caudal, anal, and pelvic fins being light colour. [8] The overall colour is black or grey, silvery on the belly, with indistinct vertical stripes along the body and a round spot on the upper margin of the operculum. [9] The maximum published standard length for this species is 50 cm (20 in). [2]
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean where it is found in the Sea Of Japan, the eastern coast Japan from central Honshu south, the Yellow Sea and the East and South China Seas. This species is found in sheltered bays, on shallow rocky reefs and in brackish waters down as deep as 50 m (160 ft). [1]
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a predatory species feeding on molluscs and polychaetes. It is a protandrous hermaphrodite that spawns during the spring and summer. [1] They spawning behaviour reaches its daily peaks just before sunset and the reduction in light levels appears to stimulate the fish to spawn. [10] Males have a maximum age of 20 years and females 28 years and males are more numerous in the lower size classes. [11]
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is an important food fish in Vietnam. [1] This species is an important fish in aquaculture in Korea, China and Japan. China produced 123,000 t (121,000 long tons; 136,000 short tons) in 2022. [12]
Black bream may refer to one of several fish species:
The gilt-head bream, also known as the gilthead, gilt-head seabream or silver seabream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams or porgies. This fish is found in the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It is a highly esteemed food fish and an important species in aquaculture.
Pagrus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. These fishes are found in the Western Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. They are esteemed food fishes which are targeted by commercial fisheries and are grown in aquaculture.
The black bream, also commonly known as the southern black bream, southern bream and blue-nosed bream, is a species of anadromous ray-finned fish of the porgy family Sparidae. A deep-bodied fish, it is occasionally confused with other similar species that occur within its range, but is generally distinguished from these species by a lack of yellow ventral and anal fins. Southern black bream are endemic to the southern coasts of Australia from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Ulladulla, New South Wales, as well as Tasmania.
Acanthopagrus australis, the yellowfin bream, also known as sea bream, surf bream, silver bream or eastern black bream, is a species of marine and freshwater fish of the porgy family, Sparidae. It is a deep-bodied fish, occasionally confused with Acanthopagrus butcheri, but is generally distinguished by its yellowish ventral and anal fins. It is a popular target for recreational fishermen due to its capacity to fight well above its weight coupled with its table quality.
The black seabream is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. This fish has a wide distribution in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The black seabream is an important food fish, especially in Europe.

This fish is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a target species for commercial fisheries and is grown in aquaculture. D. sargussensu lato was formerly thought to be a widespread species in the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans but the taxa outside of D, sargussensu stricto are now recognised as valid species and are part of the D. sargus species complex.
Pagrus major, the red seabream, red pargo, red porgy or silver seabream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies.
