Salema porgy fish, also known as Sarpa salpa, are known for their unique appearance and behavior. The most striking feature of this fish is its vibrant coloration and distinctive markings. The body is predominantly silver with a bluish or greenish tint, which can appear iridescent when the fish is in motion or illuminated by sunlight. The most recognizable characteristic is the series of golden-yellow longitudinal stripes that run along the length of its body from head to tail. These stripes, usually around 10 to 12 in number, are evenly spaced and create a visually striking contrast against the silvery background. The fins are generally translucent with a slight yellowish hue, adding to the overall colorful appearance of the fish.
