Perches & sea basses

577 species · 19 families

Perches and sea basses are a large group of predatory fish, recognised by a sturdy body, two dorsal fins with sharp spines at the front and a large mouth. They live both in fresh water — like the perch and pikeperch — and in the sea, home to sea bass, groupers and combers. The spiny fin rays and the small comb on the gill cover help you tell many species apart. They are active hunters that feed on fish, crustaceans and other small prey. From the little river perch to groupers over a metre long, it is one of the most species-rich groups and a favourite among anglers.
