About the bogue

Boops boops ( BOH-ops; from Ancient Greek βόωψ, lit. 'ox-eyed'), commonly called the boce, bogue, or bogue bream, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic.

Distribution

The species is found off the coasts of Europe, Africa, the Azores and the Canary Islands, from Norway to Angola, and in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. It avoids brackish waters such as the Baltic Sea. A demersal and semi-pelagic feeder, it can generally be found at a depth of 100 m (330 ft), and infrequently down to 350 m (1,150 ft).
