1. Breamnoun

   The name of a fish.

   Etymology: brame, Fr.

   The bream being at full growth, is a large fish; he will breed both in rivers and ponds, but loves best to live in ponds. He is, by Gesner, taken to be more elegant than wholsome. He is long in growing, but breeds exceedingly in a water that pleases him, and, in many ponds, so fast as to overstock them, and starve the other fish. He is very broad, with a forked tail, and his scales set in excellent order. He hath large eyes, and a narrow sucking mouth, two sets of teeth, and a lozing bone, to help his grinders. The male is observed to have two large melts, and the female two large bags of eggs or spawn. Izaak Walton, Angler.

   A broad bream, to please some curious taste,
   While yet alive in boiling water cast,
   Vex’d with unwonted heat, boils, flings about. Edmund Waller.

1. Bream

   Bream ( (listen) ) are species of freshwater and marine fish belonging to a variety of genera including Abramis (e.g., A. brama, the common bream), Acanthopagrus, Argyrops, Blicca, Brama, Chilotilapia, Etelis, Lepomis, Gymnocranius, Lethrinus, Nemipterus, Pharyngochromis, Rhabdosargus, Scolopsis, or Serranochromis. 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 gilt-head bream (Sparus aurata), (orata in Italy, dorada in Spain) or porgies (both family Sparidae) or pomfrets (family Bramidae) .
