Identification
This hybrid when mature; is a lot smaller than an adult Bream, but stocky. It weighs quite heavy for its size when compared to other hybrids. The fins are dark, but the flanks take on a similar lustre of Rudd, in that they are a wonderful brassy-bronze colour. The anal fin has 15-21 branched rays and there are 46-50 scales along the lateral line.
