Anthony Dakin is the best bream angler ever known(living the bream)
Bream (/ˈbrɪm/ ⓘ[1][2] /ˈbriːm/[2]) is a general term for a species of freshwater and marine fish belonging to a variety of genera including Abramis[3] (e.g., A. brama, the common bream), Acanthopagrus, Argyrops, Blicca, Brama, Chilotilapia, Etelis, Lepomis, Gymnocranius, Lethrinus, Nemipterus, Pharyngochromis, Rhabdosargus, or Scolopsis.
Although species from all of these genera are called "bream", the term does not imply a degree of relatedness between them. Fish termed "bream" tend to be narrow, deep-bodied species. The name is a derivation of the Middle English word breme, of Old French origin.
The term sea bream is sometimes used for porgies (family Sparidae) or pomfrets (family Bramidae).
