Two-bar Seabream (Acanthopagrus bifasciatus) - 100 fils

Issued in 1985 as part of Bahrain's Marine Life and Fishes series, this stamp commemorates the Two-bar Seabream (Acanthopagrus bifasciatus), a reef-associated fish found throughout the Red Sea, Arabian Gulf, and western Indian Ocean. Distinguished by the two dark bands on its head and its robust body shape, the species inhabits coral and rocky coastal environments and is an important component of regional fisheries.

By featuring the Two-bar Seabream, the State of Bahrain highlighted the ecological diversity of Gulf marine habitats and the importance of reef ecosystems. The issue celebrated one of the region's notable commercial fish species and promoted awareness of marine conservation and the sustainable management of fisheries resources.
