The Wrasse fish belongs to the Labridae family. Labridaes are marine fish, the Wrasse of the Labridae family, in the order of Perciformes. The family is large and diverse, with about 500 species of fish generally very colourful, grouped into 60 genera. The large number of species of wrasse offers an incredible diversity of colors, shapes and sizes with possible geographical variations between some individuals of the same species. In addition, like parrot fish, many livers evolve over the course of their lives according to their maturity and their position within the group. These evolutions can be considered in different phases (juvenile, intermediate or initial and terminal) at each of them, morphological modifications (size, shape and color) take place. All these variations in livery during the existence of a wrasse make it particularly difficult to identify between species, the risk of confusion is great and this even for specialists. During the juvenile phase, the dominant colors can vary from bright yellow to orange, as well as dull colors such as grey and brown with camouflage patterns. In the intermediate or initial phase, the wrasse is both male and female, adult but subordinate to the dominant individuals and therefore smaller with dull colors and cryptic patterns. However, in the terminal phase, depending on the species, fish can change sex, size and livery. The latter becomes a distinctive visual element within the group and is very colorful with red, yellow, gree

The distance between the two eyes is greater than the diameter of one eye. The lateral line is very curved at the pectoral fin. As with many flatfish, the coloring is variable and depends on the biotope. The brill is indeed capable of homochromia, i.e. to match the color of the background.

The Sting Ray fish belongs to the Dasyatidae family. The total length of this line is generally greater than 1 m, with a weight of 15 to 20 kg. The maximum known length is 2.50 m. The maximum lifespan is 20 years. Breeding usually takes place in summer. The female gives birth to 4 to 9 young. It can be fished all year round. The body of the sting ray is flattened, diamond-shaped, pointed at the front, with large pectoral fins: it is as wide as it is long. The tail, representing 60% of the total length, looks like a whip and, at one third of its base, it has a serrated spine, connected to venomous glands under the skin. The dorsal surface is bluish grey or reddish-grey in color, sometimes with white spots. This back is smooth, without tubers. The ventral side is clear. The sting ray has no dorsal fin or caudal fin and its pelvic fins are very small. The eyes are located on the dorsal surface while the mouth, nostrils and gill slits (five slits on each side) are on the ventral surface. The eyes are prominent, which gives him a very wide field of vision. Next to the eyes, an inhalant valve, called a spiracle, carries water into the gills. The mouth is located quite far back. Teeth are numerous and small, pointed in males and molar-shaped in females. The tail acts as a simple rudder and is not used for movement. It is done by the large pectoral fins, by beating. These fins are also used for burying in sand.
