The porgies of Florida belong to the family Sparidae, previously described, but not to the same genus as the northern porgy, as the scup is sometimes called.They are characterized by a deep, compressed body, humpbacked, with a large head and deep snout, and with a knob in front of the eye. The mouth is small, with strong, caninelike teeth and molars.
