"Skimmer" is a name of a type of fish, apparently this one: http://www.total-fishing.com/fisheries/barston-lakes-solihul...

In the text it appears this way:

"1 Mackerel (skimmer)"

brema
Explanation:
Creio que este "skimmer" refere-se aos "skimmer breams", que são os "breams" juvenis ou pequenos, que não crescem acima de certo tamanho.
"Bream" é um nome de peixe muito vulgar, e que em PT tem diversas traduções.
Estes "skimmers" parecem ser peixes de água doce, e por isso talvez sejam bremas", mas podem ter outros nomes, inclusive regionalmente.
