Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and parts of Western Asia. It has a silvery-bronze coloration, a small, protrusible mouth, and a distinctive long anal fin. These shoaling fish are typically found in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, feeding on benthic invertebrates and plant matter.
