''Boops boops'' /ˈboʊ.ɒps/; ''boōps'', literally "cow-eye", commonly called a bogue, is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic. Its common name in most languages refers to its large eyes. It 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. The species avoids brackish waters such as the Baltic Sea. A demersal and semi-pelagic feeder, it can generally be found down to 100 m, and infrequently.. more
