Name: Fransmadam
Scientific Name: Boopsoidea inornata (Castelnau, 1861)
Family: Sparidae
Group: Bony fish
Class: Fish
Size: 26-50 cm.
This species forms schools above rocky bottoms at depths up to about 30 m. The fransmadams often give fishermen headaches because of their great skill at stealing the bait, which is destined to catch other fish. During summer, the juvenile fransmadams spend time in seaweed beds close to the coast.
