Diplodus argenteus, the silver porgy, is an ocean-going species of sparid fish (seabream/porgies). It is also called the South American silver porgy[1] and the white bream in Uruguay, plus the silver seabream and the sargo, though the latter three names are also used for other fish species as well.[2][3]
