Скачать или смотреть Pigfish, Mediterranean Sea, Turkey.

It is found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Adults can reach a weight of 4 kg and a length of 50-60 cm. It is a typical bottom-dwelling fish, feeding on mollusks, crustaceans, and cephalopods found on the seabed, including sea cucumbers. It has a very strong jaw and sharp teeth, and unlike other fish, it has 3 spines, so its flesh is removed from between these spines after the skin is peeled off. Although it is not very popular in our country due to its name, its meat is very delicious. It lives in rocky, stony areas and reefs up to a depth of 60 meters. Since excessive consumption of reef fish can lead to food poisoning, excessive consumption of this fish is also not recommended.
