The fish, with its vibrant orange and grey body, is a striking example of the diverse marine life that populated the world's oceans during the Victorian era. The Serranus cabrilla is a species of marine fish belonging to the Serranidae family, which is abundant in the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
