discussion
Remarks: Synonymous with Dentex parvulus (Capello) and Diagramma maroccanus (Valenciennes), D. maroccanus was an occasional catch in Epe and Ikorodu during the study. This species is distributed in marine and brackish waters of the Eastern Atlantic, ranging from the Bay of Biscay and southwestern Mediterranean to the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Guinea. D. maroccanus is an oval, compressed-bodied fish with a moderately steep head profile in front of the eye. The dorsal fin comprises 12 spines and 11 soft rays. The distal portions of the dorsal and anal fins display a more intense reddish coloration, while the fork of the caudal fin is distinctly edged with dark red.
