This couch's sea bream, Pagrus pagrus, captured by Richard Le Prevost on 9 September 2011 weighed 4205 grams. At the time of capture this was a British angling record.

This fish is known as a red porgy in the USA and the FAO of the United Nations refers to it as a common sea bream. In Britain the fish is named after Dr. Jonathan Couch from Polperro, Cornwall, who first identified the fish from a single specimen, which was captured three miles south of Polperro, Cornwall on the 8 December 1842. Dr Couch was the author of the four volume "The History of the fishes of the British Isles."

Guernsey commercial fisherman Rick Ferbrache caught this red sea bream, Pagellus bogaraveo, off Pontinfer, north-east Guernsey, Channel Islands in the English Channel on 28 January 2008. It had a total length of 32.6 cm, a fork length of 28.9 cm, and a standard length of 25.8 cm. It had a total weight of 454 grams.

The fish has small sharp pointed teeth in both jaws. These fish can exhibit a golden, a slightly pink or a slightly orange or a steely colour. They usually have a black blotch at the origin of the lateral line but sometimes, especially if scales are missing in this area, the blotch can be faint. They always have a bright orange mouth and tongue and the inside of the gill cover is bright orange also. The orange buccal cavity is a good feature to separate this bream or porgy from the common or Couch's sea bream, Pagrus pagrus, and the pandora, Pagellus erythrinus, which may be found in the English Channel.
