The Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama ), also known as Ray's bream , is a species of marine
ray-finned fish , a
pomfret of the
family
Bramidae . It is found in the
Atlantic ,
Indian , and South
Pacific Oceans , at depths down to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
Its length is between 40 and 100 cm (16 and 39 in). In South Africa, where it is a common
bycatch of the
hake fishery, it is generally known and sold as "angelfish", although it is not a true
marine angelfish .
[3]
The Atlantic pomfret has very significant migration patterns
[4] which greatly depend on the temperature of intermediate waters, but are also affected by secondary reactions from density dependence and the climatic conditions of the surface. Although the species was first recorded in Irish waters in 1843, it was still regarded as scarce up until the late 1950s, but between the 1960s and 1970s large numbers were recorded.
