BIOLOGY
A member of a group of fish known as Sparidae, the Black bream is one of two species commonly found in northern European seas. Spawning occurs in April and May in a number of inshore waters, such as the English Channel. Black bream all mature as females at around 20cm; once bream reach about 30cm they may change into males, all fish over 40cms are males.
ADVICE
Choose line-caught fish where available, or fish taken in fixed nets where measures to deter marine mammals have been adopted. Avoid eating immature fish (less than 23cm) caught prior to and during their spawning season (April & May in UK inshore waters ), thus allowing them chance to spawn or reproduce. Local byelaws in some Sea Fishery Committees' Districts, e.g. Cornwall and North Western and North Wales, prohibit landing of seabream below 23 cm. Choose fish from Cornwall or North Western and North Wales where available.
