Wikipedia Abstract

The bogue (Boops boops /ˈboʊ.ɒps/; Greek: βόωψ boōps, literally "cow-eye"), is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic. Its common name in all languages refers to its large ("bug") eyes. It 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. The species avoids brackish waters such as the Baltic Sea. A demersal and semi-pelagic feeder, it can generally be found down to 100 m, and infrequently down to 350 m. It consumes seaweed, crustaceans, and some plankton, in schools that rise to the surface at night. Individuals can reach 36 cm, but average 20 cm.
