Common two-banded seabream
The Common two-banded seabream (Diplodus vulgaris) lives in the Mediterranean Sea and along the east coast of the Atlantic all the way from Spain to Senegal at a depth up to 100 m. Its closest relatives are the Annular seabream and the White seabream from which it differs only in colour. They all belong to the Sparidae family.
It has a laterally flattened and high-backed body of a silvery grey colour with a large, black band on the distal end of the caudal peduncle. It differs from its cousins in the black band that goes behind the gill cover from left to right. This band reminds of the priests hood which gives it its Slovenian name "Frater".
They are common to shallow waters near coasts with flat, vegetated bottoms. They are scattered around and feed in large masses. If one gets close, they flee in all directions. It grows 40 cm long and reaches 1 kg in weight.
So far it has been depicted on two stamps. Malta portrayed it in one of the stamps in sheets of sixteen different fish (August 25, 1999). The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus used it on 29 March 1996 in a series of four fish.
In addition to stamps and personal stamps, the Aquarium of Piran prepared a postcard and we prepared a maximum card. Illustration and design of greeting cards, personal postal stamp and cancelation is the work of Matjaž Učakar.
