Common pandora is Pagellus erythrinus. Slovenian charts say rdeči pagrus and Croatian charts say arbun. AlgoCatch treats it as a coastal fish on sand, mixed sediment, and mud. The Habitat Checker lists it under anchor. The published town files do not contain a pandora polygon.
Also called Slovenian Rdeči pagrus, Croatian Arbun, scientific name Pagellus erythrinus. The Italian common name is not in the AlgoCatch catalog.
Where it lives in the Adriatic
The catalog text places pandora on sand and mixed Folk-5 ground in Slovenia, Croatia, and the north-east Italian strip from Trieste to Ancona. The published town zone files do not contain a pandora polygon. A pin can still be scored in the checker.
How AlgoCatch maps it
The Habitat Checker scores a pin for common pandora as a suitability match. It is not a count of fish. Pandora is on the anchor list.
Rules
Croatia and Slovenia publish minimum size and closed season in their own gazettes. AlgoCatch does not copy a centimetre or a month onto this page. The figures in circulation do not agree, and a stale number is worse than a pointer. Check the current text for the water you are on before you keep a fish.
