White steenbras  (Lithognathus lithognathus)

Description

Often shimmering with a mother-of-pearl sheen, the white steenbras is a silvery-grey fish, with a whiter underside (3). Seven dark vertical bars pattern each side of the rather elongated body (3), which are often darker in younger, smaller white steenbras (2). It has a long snout and a narrow mouth surrounded by thick lips, and the jaws bear tiny teeth (3).
