Title

Cyprinus Vimba/ Die Zärthe/ La Serte/ The Vimba

Representation of a Vimba. Vimba vimba, called also the vimba bream,vimba, is a European fish species in the Cyprinidae family. It largely lives in the sea but makes an annual migration up-river each year to breed. The vimba bream was at one time classified as a bream as it also has a long anal fin, but has now been placed in a different genus. Its body is not as deep as that of the bream. It also resembles the asp but its mouth is small and behind the snout whereas the asp has a large mouth with the lower jaw protruding.
