St. Peter's spot

St. Peter's spot
a pigment blotch near the rear of the dorsal fin in juvenile Sarotherodon galilaeus, a tilapia, from Lake Galilee. Supposedly the thumb mark of St. Peter where he picked up the fish and removed a piece of money from its mouth. Actually correlates with schooling behaviour seen in young but reduced in adults, as is the spot
