BIGG DADDA TREVS Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I have an enquiry about blue nose bream, whether I've been poorly informed or misidentified a fish. Last year I caught a bream in the hawkesbury river that went 48cm, I thought it was just a bream as I was just starting fishing and didn't know of any other species of bream. Later, looking back at the photos is identified it as a bluenose bream. Just wandering if the bluenose bream is counted as a different species as I couldn't find it in the records section.

Thx Mature bream when they reach a certain length/size develop a bluish colouring around the mouth area giving them the name of blue nose bream.Smaller/infant bream lack this marking.Your one at 48cm carried that blue nose for years as I've caught them in the low 30's with the marking and bream are a fairly slow growing fish.

rickmarlin62 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 in this area of the state they are all yellowfin bream..bluenose is a slang term for a larger specimen with a blue tinge on the front of their head...as you head south down the coast you will start catching black bream which are more predominant in the southern parts of the country..the only other species of bream are pikey bream from far northern Australia...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
