Distribution
provided by FAO species catalogs
Whole of Mediterranean, rare in Black Sea. Eastern Atlantic from Norway (occasional) to Angola, and oceanic islands (Azores, Madeira, Canary, Cape Verde, Sao Tome-Principe). Common from Bay Biscay to Gibraltar.
Size
provided by FAO species catalogs
Maximum 36 cm; common to 20 cm.
Brief Summary
provided by FAO species catalogs
A demersal, as well as semi-pelagic, species living on all types of bottom (sand, mud, rock, seagrass beds)to 350 m, more abundant in the upper 100 m and sometimes in coastal waters.Moves in aggregations, ascending to the surface mainly at night. Reproduction in February-April (eastern Mediterranean), April-May (western Mediterranean), March-May (Atlantic), summer (Black Sea); hermaphroditic (generally protogynoius).
Benefits
provided by FAO species catalogs
Caught on line gear, with bottom trawls and purse seines; also with beach seines and trammel nets. The total catch reported for this species to FAO for 1999 was 28 211 t. The countries with the largest catches were Greece (4 658 t) and Spain (3 898 t). Marketed fresh and frozen; dried-salted or smoked; also user for fishmeal and oil and commonly as bait in tuna fisheries.

Life Cycle
provided by Fishbase
Conflicting descriptions of the reproductive style of this species have been reported, Ref. 34225 describe this species as being a gonochorist (Ref. 28504). Also Ref. 32206, 103751.
Migration
provided by Fishbase
Oceanodromous. Migrating within oceans typically between spawning and different feeding areas, as tunas do. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.

Boops boops

Boops boops (/ˈboʊ.ɒps/; from Ancient Greek βόωψ, literally 'cow-eye'), commonly called the bogue, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic.[2] Its common name in most languages refers to its large ("bug") eyes.
Distribution and habitat
The species is found off the coasts of Europe, Africa, the Azores and the Canary Islands, from Norway to Angola, and in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. It avoids brackish waters such as the Baltic Sea. A demersal and semi-pelagic feeder, it can generally be found at a depth of 100 m (330 ft), and infrequently down to 350 m (1,150 ft).
Ecology
It consumes seaweed, crustaceans, and some plankton, in schools that rise to the surface at night. Individuals can reach 36 cm (14 in), but average 20 cm (7.9 in). Sex determination in the bogue is unclear. It has variously been described as a rudimentary intersex organism, with a few intersex individuals, or a protogynous intersex, with individuals starting out life as females, and some becoming male later on.
Human use
The species is commercially fished, with 37,830 tonnes taken in 2008.[2] It is marketed in sizes from Small (1/2, 2/3), Medium (2/4, 3/5, 4/6), Large (4/8, 4/7, 5/7, 5/8). Sizes are not standardized, but the mentioned sizes are often used in commercial transactions. When cleaned and pan fried, broiled or baked fresh, they are good tasting, but when stored their gut flora soon spread unpleasant flavors to their flesh.[3] Much of the catch is used for fishmeal or tuna fishing bait.
Parasites
The bogue is host to a wide variety of parasites, ranging from metazoans such as monogenean flatworms (e.g. Microcotyle isyebi[4] and Cyclocotyla bellones) acanthocephalan spiny-headed worms, nematode roundworms, isopod and copepod crustaceans and myxozoan cnidarians to the unicellular dinoflagellate Ichthyodinium chabelardi, a parasite lethal to eggs developing in ovaries. At least 67 metazoan parasite species have been reported from the species.[5] In the aftermath of the 2002 Prestige oil spill, the community of parasitic species inhabiting bogue caught off the coast of Spain was noticeably altered.[6]
