Common Sea-bream— Pagcllus centrodontus, De la Roche.

 Fishes, vol. i. p. 37. 



Very abundant in the sea-lochs of the west, and known by the local 

 name of "Bulgarian Haddie." We have caught many of these fish at 

 the head of Glen Coul, and also at Loch Inver. These sell in the 

 London market at one shilling each, but are not reckoned marketable 

 by the west coast fishermen, nor much esteemed as food.
