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 yellow gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) is a predatory fish of the Triglidae family found in the Black Sea. It is distinguished from other fish by its large, wing-like pectoral fins, each of which has three free lower finger-like rays that serve as “legs.” It leads a bottom-dwelling lifestyle and prefers sandy substrates. It feeds on slow-moving and immobile animals, as well as fish, shrimp, and crabs.
The postage stamp and card provide image of Black Sea fish: a yellow gurnard.
