Fish of Tunisia: Wolf

This stamp depicts the Sea Bass or Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), locally known as “Qarous”. Appreciated for the finesse of its flesh, this predator of rocky coasts and estuaries is a symbol of the quality of Tunisian marine waters. Like the sea bream, the sea bass is the subject of controlled breeding in Tunisia, combining coastal fishing tradition and technical modernity. Its illustration on this stamp underlines the importance of fishery resources in the country's Mediterranean culinary identity and the promotion of natural heritage linked to the blue economy.
