Other synonyms for this species of fish include "convict fish", "banded sheepshead", "sheephead porgy" and "lobster fish". Sheepshead fish are typically found along the Atlantic coast of North America and can be identified by their black and white striped bodies, with a flat profile and long, pointed snout.
