Bogues are common around Sicily and Malta.  To the right partially hidden by a lettuce leaf (with a spotted body) is a greater weever, Trachinus draco.  To the right of the weever there are two john dory, Zeus faber.  There are three bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, clearly visible on the display.  On the left there are some long-finned squid, Loligo vulgaris, and above them in the top left-hand corner there are some gilthead bream, Sparus auratus.
