Description
The Southern Ray's Bream (*Brama australis*) is a large, silvery, deep-bodied marine fish found in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is a pelagic species that feeds on smaller fish and invertebrates. Due to its significant size and specific deep-water habitat requirements, it is not suitable for home aquariums and is typically only seen in public aquariums, if at all.
