Wikipedia Abstract

(This article is about the fish. For the U.S. Navy ships, see USS Sargo. For the town in Burkina Faso, see Sargo, Burkina Faso.) Diplodus sargus, called white seabream and sargo, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans. It is found from the Bay of Biscay southwards to South Africa, including Madeira and the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and (rarely) the Black Sea. Occasionally individuals are found off the Indian Ocean coasts of South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar, and they are very rarely found elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, such as off Oman. An active fish, they inhabit the surf zone, but they may be found down to 50 m.
