BREAM

The bream (Abramis) is a fresh water fish allied to and belonging to the carp family. It is distinguished by its compressed and elevated body, the short dorsal fin, and the absence of barbells on the mouth. There are seven European species, two of which are British, the common bream and the white
bream. Some species occur sporadically in salt-water, and they are often found in stagnant and slow-moving water.
