The Chere Chere grunt, scientifically known as Pomadasys incisus, is a medium-sized marine fish found primarily in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea and along the western coast of Africa. Recognizable by its silvery body and distinctive yellowish fins, this species inhabits coastal waters and is often caught by artisanal and small-scale commercial fisheries. The top countries involved in harvesting Chere Chere grunt include Morocco, Senegal, Mauritania, and other West African nations, where it is an important component of local diets and fish markets. While not a major target for large-scale industrial fisheries, the Chere Chere grunt supports coastal communities through both subsistence and commercial fishing, contributing to food security and local economies in these regions.
