Discover the beauty and intrigue of the European Seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, as depicted in this handcoloured copperplate drawing by Edward Donovan from his Natural History of British Fishes (1802-1808). This exquisite illustration showcases the side view of this magnificent fish, a prized catch for anglers along Europe's coasts, from the UK to the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Delve into the details of its scales, as seen in these light micrographs, and imagine the thrill of reeling one in, as in this image of a freshly caught European Seabass at Porto Garibaldi, Italy. An essential member of the Perciformes Moronidae family, the European Seabass is a true treasure of our coastal wildlife.
