Description
Last part of the series dedicated to marine fauna, this 500 millime stamp presents the Cuttlefish (Habbar). Yosr Jamoussi's illustration shows two individuals, highlighting their oval body bordered by a thin fin and their characteristic zebra patterns allowing effective camouflage.
Cuttlefish is a noble product of Tunisian fishing, particularly appreciated in local gastronomy. This stamp highlights the biological diversity of the sandy and grassy bottoms of the coast, while promoting an exported resource which contributes to the dynamism of the country's fishing ports.
