White seabream are protandrous hermaphrodites that begin life male and transition to female. Schools of dozens cruise the rubble and ruin corridors of Kekova, feeding on sea urchins and molluscs attached to ancient stone. They play a significant bioturbation role, turning over sediment and exposing substrate for colonisation.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
