Description
Ray's Bream (*Brama brama*) is a large, deep-bodied, silvery marine fish found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide. This pelagic species is known for its migratory behavior and predatory diet, feeding on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. It is not suitable for home aquariums due to its size and specialized open-water requirements, typically only seen in very large public aquariums.
