Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and parts of Asia. Known for its bronze-gold coloration as an adult, it inhabits slow-moving waters like lakes, rivers, and ponds. Primarily a bottom-feeder, it sifts through substrate for invertebrates and plant matter.
