First record of albinism in salema, Sarpa salpa (Perciformes: Sparidae), in the Mediterranean Sea
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 June 2015
Abstract
The first record of albinism in salema (Sarpa salpa (Linnaeus, 1758)) observed in Cabo de Palos, Western Mediterranean, is reported here. The adult specimen showed an overall lack of pigmentation, presented normally coloured eyes and a further local dyspigmentation, being, therefore, classifiable as a partial albino. No noticeable changes in size nor morphology were detected.
