Japanese
Etymology
Compound of 雨 (ame, “rain”) + 魚 (uo, “fish”). It comes from their behavior of migrating upstream in groups during heavy rain (梅雨) in the spawning season.
Noun
鯇魚 • (amenouo)
- A local name (synonym) used for either Biwa Salmon (Oncorhynchus biwaensis) or Amago Salmon (Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae), though it typically refers to the former.
Usage notes
- As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as アメノウオ (amenōo). Standard Japanese name is ビワマス（琵琶鱒）.
