Peacock Wrasse
Symphodus tinca

Field Notes
Description:
About 20cm in length, with protrusive snout. Mainly grey-greenish and fading down to whitish on the belly, with two horizontal stripes, one red-brown and the other dark-brown, along each side.
Habitat:
This summer, we observed these wrasses often, close to shores, on a popular beaches in a village of Dubrovnik riviera (Cavtat). The depth in this zone is between 0,5m up to 3m, and then descending sharply down to 10m. The sea bottom here is rocky, creating many crevasses and tunnels, and rocks are abundantly covered in algae. In those deeper waters, there are some large colonies of sea grass.
