Traumatismes de le bouche chez la dorade commune. Les problèmes qu'ils posent, concernant la biologie de cette espèce

Some authors have already underlined a case of mouth malformation in the common bream (Pagelius centrodontus Delaroche). This way Yarrell (1), Dunn, Garstang (2) each observed a short nosed bream, which didn't have intermaxillary bone. As this anomaly had not been observed only on the coasts of Cornwall, Garstang asked himself if it only existed in the Plymouth area and if its distribution should not be widened. Today, we answer this question: over two years, we had the opportunity to observe directly some of these monstrosities in the harbour of La Rochelle. We will study some of them.
