Blackfish is a common name of fish.
The Sparidae are a family of fish in the order Perciformes, commonly called sea breams and porgies. The sheepshead, scup, and red seabream are species in this family. Most sparids are deep-bodied compressed fish with a small mouth separated by a broad space from the eye, a single dorsal fin with strong spines and soft rays, a short anal fin, long pointed pectoral fins and rather large firmly attached scales. They are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters and are bottom-dwelling carnivores.
The parore or luderick, black bream or blackfish is a species of sea chub native to coastal marine and brackish waters of southeastern Australia and New Zealand. They prefer rocky reefs, inshore habitats such as eelgrass beds, estuaries and mangrove swamps where they can be found down to depths of around 20 metres (66 ft). This species can reach a length of 71 centimetres (28 in) FL though most do not exceed 35 centimetres (14 in) TL. The maximum known weight of this species is recorded at 4 kilograms (8.8 lb). They have 11-12 fine dark tapering bars on a bluish-grey to greyish-brown body that fades to silvery-white below. It is commercially important and is also popular as a game fish.
The Girellinae are a subfamily of fish in the sea chub family. They may be referred to as nibblers.
Acanthopagrus butcheri, the black bream but also commonly known as the southern black bream, southern bream and blue-nosed bream, is a species of marine and freshwater fish of the porgy family, Sparidae. It is a deep-bodied fish, 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 Australia, inhabiting the southern coast from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Mallacoota, Victoria, 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 fisherman due to its capacity to fight well above its weight coupled with its table quality.
The yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus, is a porgy of the family Sparidae.
Porgy is the common name in the US for any fish which belongs to the family Sparidae. They are also called bream. Porgies live in shallow temperate marine waters and are bottom-dwelling carnivores. Most species possess grinding, molar-like teeth. They are often good eating fish, particularly the gilt-head bream and the dentex.
Argyrops spinifer is also known as king soldier bream, Bowen snapper, frying-pan snapper, frypan bream, long-spined red bream, longfin snapper, longspine seabream and red bokako. It is a species of fish in the family Sparidae.

Yellowfin bream, yellow bream, yellow sea bream, or yellowfin sea bream are the common names for several species of sea breams with very similar appearances:
Acanthopagrus morrisoni, commonly known as the western yellowfin seabream, also known as the yellow sea bream' or datina, is a porgy of the family Sparidae. It was recognised as a distinct species separate from latus in 2013.
Girella zebra, also known as zebrafish or stripey bream, is a species of fish in the family Kyphosidae, it lives in the Indo-Pacific, in areas like south-western Australia, New South Wales, and Tasmania. This fish reaches a length of 54 cm, lives in depths from 0 to 20 meters deep in bays, reefs, and estuaries, and is endemic, and they can be found schooling in both small in large groups.
