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." File no. 090911 9478 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

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.
