phylum | Chordata | Acanthopagrus schlegelii, commonly known as the blackhead seabream, Japanese black porgy, or sea bream, is a fish often farmed for food in Japan. The body is ovoid and compressed, and its streamlined body makes it a fast swimmer. The mouth is small, terminal, and with many incisor-like canines. It is an aggressive predator. The dorsal fin has 10 to 12 spines and 10 to 15 soft rays, which are used for offence and defence.
