Arcachon Bay fish

[edit]

The brackish and productive waters of the Bay of Arcachon make them ideal for hosting a wide variety of organisms, including but not limited to those belonging to the families Sparidae, [1] Mugilidae, [2] and Triglidae. [3] This fauna is typical from shallow-temperate waters and generally common along the northeastern and eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea. [4]

Twenty-seven species of fish found in Arcachon bay include: [4]

Within the family Sparidae [1]:

  • Boops boops [5] also known by the name of Bogue
  • Pagellus bogaraveo [6] also known by the name of Blackspot seabream
  • Dentex dentex [7] also known by the name of Common dentex
  • Diplodus annularis [8] also known by the name of Annular seabream
  • Pagellus erythrinus [9] also known by the name of King of the breams
  • Sarpa salpa [10] also known by the name of Dreamfish
  • Diplodus puntazzo [11] also known by the name of Sheapshed seabream
  • Diplodus sargus [12] also known by the name of White seabream
  • Lithognathus mormyrus [13] also known by the name of Striped seabream
  • Spondyliosoma cantharus [14] also known by the name of Black seabream
  • Pagellus acarne [15] also known by the name of Spanish seabream
  • Pagrus pagrus [16] also known by the name of Red porgy
  • Diplodos cervinus [17] also known by the name of Zebra seabream
  • Diplodus vulgaris [18] also known by the name of Two banded seabream
  • Oblada melanura [19] also known by the name of Saddled seabream

Within the Mugilidae family [2]:

  • Liza ramada [20] also known by the name of Thin-lipped mullet
  • Chelon labrosus [21] also known by the name of Thick-lipped mullet
  • Liza saliens [22] also known by the name of Leaping mullet
  • Liza aurata [23] also known by the name of Golden grey mullet
  • Mugil chephalus [24] also known by the name of Striped mullet
  • Oedalechilus labeo [25] also known by the name of Boxlip mullet

Within the Triglidae family [3]:

  • Aspitrigla cuculus [26] also known by the name of Red gurnard
  • Trigla lucerna [27] also known by the name of Tub gurnard
  • Eutrigla gurnardus [28] also known by the name of Grey gurnard
  • Trigloporus lastoviza [29] also known by the name of Streaked gurnard
  • Trigla lyra [30] also known by the name of Piper
  • Aspitrigla obscura [31] also known by the name of Long-finned gurnard


Arcachon Bay has been experiencing a decrease in the number of these particular species within the general area of the bay. The decreasing population of these species can be attributed to their low fertility rates and inherent low mortality rates, with humans representing their primary threat as predators. [4]

Additionally, other species within the area include; Phocoenidae [32] (porpoises), Squatina [33] (angel sharks), Bathytoshia [34] (stingrays), and Crassostrea gigas [35] (oysters). Arcachon Bay has been continuously well renowned for its oyster cultivation, fishing, and recreational boating pursuits. Oysters are a key species to the area of Arcachon Bay. Throughout the years Arcachon Bay has been known for its plentiful supply of oysters. Making it a known and common place for oyster farming and fishing. These oysters have been in much demand in the french market as there has been a robust gathering of 7,000 tons within the area as of 2017. However, since 1998 there has been a decline in oyster population due to both human and environmental influences. Much of this can be attributed to pollution. These changes in the natural habitat have led to higher mortality rates, reducing much of the oyster population. An important species contributing not only to diversity but also the progression of human development over the years. [36]
