Breams, snappers & drums

715 species · 17 families

This group brings together sea breams, snappers, drums and related coastal fish with a sturdy, oval body and a single long dorsal fin. Many have powerful jaws with knob or cutting teeth to crush shellfish and crustaceans. Drums can make drumming sounds with their swim bladder, which gives them their name. They often live over sand, wreck or reef bottoms and are prized by anglers and at the fish market. Well-known species are the gilt-head bream, the red mullet and numerous tropical snappers.
