Everything about Bream totally explained
Bream is a general term for a number of species of
freshwater and
marine fish, mainly, but not exhaustively, drawn from the
genera Abramis (for example
A. brama, the
carp bream),
Acanthopagrus,
Argyrops,
Blicca,
Brama,
Etelis,
Gymnocranius,
Lethrinus,
Nemipterus,
Rhabdosargus and
Scolopsis. Although species from all of these genera are called "bream", the term doesn't imply a degree of relatedness between these species, such as a
family or other higher
taxon would. In the southern United States the term is used to refers to the fishes of the genus
Lepomis. Fish termed "bream" tend to be narrow, deep bodied species. The name is a derivation of the
Middle English word
breme, of
Old French origin.
Bream are widespread in the
Volga River, and are called Lesch (Лещ) in
Russia. Bream mostly feed from the bottom of
rivers and are fished with
donkas, fishing rods that drop the hook and bait on the bottom of rivers and lakes.
Bream isn't a
scientific name, and is used to described fish of many different
genera and
families. The term
sea bream is sometimes used for
porgies (family
Sparidae) or
pomfrets (
family Bramidae).
Bream also exist in Australia, and are members of the
genus Acanthopagrus. They are commonly found in estuaries and saltwater rivers, targeted by many fishermen and are a great eating fish.
Black Bream (
Acanthopagrus butcheri) has a range that extends from southern
New South Wales,
Victoria,
South Australia and into
Western Australia as far north as
Shark Bay.
Yellowfin Bream (
Acanthopagrus australis) are found along the
New South Wales coast, as well as in
Queensland and Victoria.
There also exists the
Zambezi bream, and as its name suggests, it's native to the
Zambezi river, and is a popular food fish.
