The Southern kingfish has an elongated body and a lower or downwardly directed mouth, with the snout extending beyond the mouth. They have only one rigid barbell under their chin.

The sheepshead has a deep oval body with a blunt snout and a small, almost horizontal mouth. The posterior nostril is split in appearance. The dorsal and anal fins include short, strong spines. The second spine of the anal fin is larger. The pectoral fins are long and extend beyond the anal opening when pressed (close to the body). The caudal fin is slightly forked.

The King Mackerel belongs to the Scombridae family. The king mackerel is a medium-sized fish, generally weighing between 5 and 14 kg, but weighing more than 40 kg. Females can live up to 14 years, and males up to 11 years. It spawns from May to September. It can be fished from April to December. Unlike other members of Scombridae, mackerel do not have a black area on the front of the first dorsal fin. The mackerel king has 12 to 18 spines in his first dorsal fin; 15-18 rays in the second dorsal fin, followed by 7-10 pinnacles; and 21-23 rays in the pectoral fin. Its body is about five times larger than its head and about six times longer than its depth. The whole body is covered with rudimentary scales, except for its pectoral fin. The lateral line drops abruptly after the second dorsal fin, then continues to the tail, distinguishing it from red mackerel (Scomberomorus regalis). The king mackerel also lacks scales on the pectoral fins, as does the Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus), unlike the red mackerel which has scales extending over the pectoral fin. The king mackerel is a silver fish with indistinct bars or spots on the side. The dorsal surface is black with iridescent tones of blue and green. Young fish have small bronze spots on 5 or 6 irregular rows.

However, some individuals can reach up to 60 cm and 4 kg. The black bream has a lifespan of 27 years. Its spawning period is between August and January. It can have up to 300,000 spawn each season. It is not hard to catch and offer a little resistance. The Black bream has a high body and relatively compressed laterally, with symmetrically curved dorsal and ventral fins. The mouth is of moderate size compared to the body and has six incisors in the front of the lower and upper jaws. The body is covered with large scales that can be cycloid or slightly ctenoid. The head is essentially flake-free, except for the lids. A flake sheath covers the soft ray bases of the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. The Black Bream is silvery, from golden brown or bronze to grey-green on the back as well as on the sides with sometimes greenish reflections, depending on its habitat. The belly is white. The fins are all dark, with black borders. The caudal fin is often dark olive-brown.

The Black Grouper belongs to the Serranidae family. The black grouper is a large marine fish that can reach lengths of up to 150 cm and weigh 100 kg. The black grouper has a lifespan of about 40 years. Fish spawn between May and August. The black grouper fishing season is open from June to December. The black grouper is a large, marine fish with a prominent lower jaw. It has an oblong body shape and rounded edges on the dorsal and anal fins. The caudal fin is square and the dorsal fin has 11 spines and 15-17 rays. The preopercule is rounded without a notch, which distinguishes it from the gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis). The black grouper has an olive or grey body color, dark rectangular spots and small hexagonal bronze spots on the head and underside. The edges of the dorsal, anal and caudal fin are black or bluish; there is sometimes an orange border along the pectoral fins. The front teeth of the black grouper are well developed canines. Groupers have several sets of strong, thin teeth that play the role of a rasp. These teeth are not used to tear the flesh like barracudas and sharks, but rather to prevent small fish from escaping.
