Scientific name : Sciaena umbra
Family : Sciaenidae (umbrina, corb, drum, 293 species)
Size : Up to 70 cm
Distribution : From Morocco to Brittany, via the Mediterranean Sea
Biology : A calm fish, it lives in small sedentary groups, settling in caves or between rocks. To communicate, it emits a growl that is perfectly audible and unfortunately very recognisable to underwater hunters. The corb is highly prized and easy prey, which is why a moratorium protects this species.
IUCN status : Near threatened
