Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds across Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its silvery-bronze scales, high-backed profile, and deeply forked tail. Primarily a bottom feeder, it sifts through substrate for invertebrates and plant matter.
