This visual is dedicated to the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), nicknamed “the sea bream” because of the golden band between its eyes. A noble fish par excellence from the Tunisian coast, sea bream occupies a special place on festive tables and in coastal restaurants. This stamp illustrates not only the biodiversity of Tunisia's sandy and grassy seabed, but also the significant development of the marine aquaculture sector in regions like Monastir, thus contributing to food security and the influence of Tunisian seafood products abroad.
