Atlantic pomfret


The Atlantic pomfret or Ray's bream is a pomfret of the family Bramidae, found in the Atlantic, Indian, and South Pacific Oceans, at depths down to 1,000 m. Its length is between 40 and 100 cm. 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.
The Atlantic Pomfret has very significant migration patterns which greatly depends on the temperature of intermediate waters, but is also effected by secondary reactions from density- dependence and climate conditions of the surface.
