menhaden : ウィキペディア英語版
menhaden

Menhaden, also known as mossbunker, and bunker, are forage fish of the genera ''Brevoortia'' and ''Ethmidium'', two genera of marine fish in the family Clupeidae. ''Menhaden'' is a blend of ''poghaden'' (''pogy'' for short) and an Algonquian word akin to Narragansett ''munnawhatteaûg'', derived from ''munnohquohteau'' ‘he fertilizes’, referring to the fish's use as fertilizer. It is generally thought that Pilgrims were advised by Tisquantum (also known as Squanto) to plant menhaden with their crops.〔
==Description==
Menhaden are flat, have soft flesh, and a deeply forked tail. They rarely exceed in length, and have a varied weight range. Gulf menhaden and Atlantic menhaden are small oily-fleshed fish, bright silver and characterized by a series of smaller spots behind the main, Humeral spot. They tend to have larger scales than Yellowfin menhaden and Finescale menhaden. In addition, Yellowfin menhaden tail rays are a bright yellow in contrast to those of the Atlantic menhaden.
