Wikipedia
Bream is a general term for a 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 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).
Bream is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
- Julian Bream (born 1933), classical guitarist
- Shannon Bream (born 1970), American journalist for the Fox News Channel
