The Black Sea is a sea within the Atlantic Ocean basin, located between Europe and Asia, east of the Balkans, south of the East European Plain, and southwest of the Caucasus. The Black Sea is home to a diverse fauna, including species of fish, shell-fish, crustaceans, and mammals.
The red mullet (Mullus barbatus) is a small Black Sea bottom-dwelling fish of the family of Mullidae, order of Syngnathiformes, known for its long barbels on the chin and its reddish-silvery coloration. Its body is of fairly bright red color with silvery highlights and is covered with large scales. Adults feed exclusively on small benthic animals, while juveniles prefer plankton and small crustaceans.
