Croakers

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Croakers 

several fish of the family Sciaenidae of the order Percomorphi. In the USSR there are two species: Umbrina cirrhosa, a large fish (maximum length, 1.5 m; maximum weight, 30 kg) with a barbel on its lower jaw, and Sciaena umbra, a smaller fish (maximum length, 0.7 m; maximum weight, 4 kg) with no barbels. Both species are found in the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of southern Europe and Africa, and in the USSR they are found in the Black Sea. They have little commercial value.
