Boops boops, commonly known as the bogue, is a small fish species inhabiting the coastal waters of the Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Black Seas. The life cycle of Boops boops starts with spawning, which occurs from late winter to early spring. During this period, females release eggs into the pelagic zone, where they are fertilized by males. The eggs hatch into larvae, which remain planktonic for several weeks, feeding on microscopic organisms. As they grow, the juvenile bogues settle in coastal areas, particularly around seagrass beds, rocky substrates, and sandy bottoms. Adult bogues are omnivorous, feeding on a diverse diet that includes plankton, small invertebrates, and algae. They are known for their elongated bodies and large eyes, which help them detect prey and navigate their environment.
