yeah bream is a name given to about 15 fish here too, most but not of all the same family either.

was thinking you might have red bream.. hangon that was red drum. a croaker.
a big fish like our mulloway. then again i think some countries call lutjanus bream too.

about the only species here that are farmed for foodfish in ponds in big numbers are barras and silver perch. trout down south, and salmon, tuna and kingfish down south in cages, think you guys have the tilapias too, they wont let us have them here.

you see why they use a latin instead of a common name.

we have pesky fish that nip at tails, mainly they get contaminated form pond to pnd from moving cages of fish around the farm to free up a pond to breed in.. thats something kfg should be aware of. once its done its hard to control without a whole farm dry out as they can just move cross from pond with birds or maybe even in the rain.
