Siebold's Siisserwasserf. p. 138. npHE White Bream Is a much smaller species than the Common Bream, and is far less -1- widely distributed over the countr)- it seldom exceeds one pound in weight, and is worthless as an article of diet; it is of bright silvery hue, and quite destitute of the yellow or colden lustre of its near relation. It is hardly possible to distinguish this species from the' individual of the Common Bream, because though the White Bream has never any yellowish tint, generally observable in large or middle-sized specimens of the other species, yet young Common Bream are very frequently white, and so similar m appearance I.
