Recently, the seabass has been one of the actively cultivated breeds in Europe. This fishing is especially popular in France, Spain, Italy, Turkey. Seabass is grown both in natural reservoirs with salt water and in artificial pools.

The fatness of the sea bass depends on the spawning season. Fish spawning usually lasts several months, from May to July, so catching the most delicious sea bass begins in autumn, from July to October.
