A genus of small to medium-sized fish found in Mediterranean and Atlantic waters, sometimes called seabream, valued in fishing and aquaculture.
From Greek 'diplos' (double), possibly referencing the fish's paired fins or bilateral symmetry. The genus was formally established in taxonomic nomenclature to classify these economically important fish species.
Diplodus species are so important to Mediterranean fisheries that their population health directly affects the food and income of thousands of fishing communities.
