The Common Pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) known locally in Fuerteventura as Breca is a fish of the sea bream family (Sparidae).
It has a slim oval body, with a smallish mouth and scales covering its face, silver in colour with a pink tinge, particularly on its back. Typically they are between 10 and 30 cm in length but can reach as much as 50 cm in length.
They can often be seen when snorkelling in shallow water, close to the shore in Fuerteventura and they are a popular food with delicate white flesh.
