Gymnocranius grandoculis

The blue-lined large eye bream is related to the black-nape sea bream, and the mu, Monotaxis grandoculis, which it resembles. Once captured, identification is easier: The gill cover of G. grandoculis is covered with blue lines, hence its name.

It is not frequently encountered in spearfishing because it likes sandy areas.

Distant like the Mu, but rather slow in its evolutions, it requires a distant and precise shot. It responds positively to stalking.

Although it hardly exceeds 2-3 pounds in weight, it is a tasty fish. A valid catch.
