Forelli (Forell)

Trout. Could be one of the Salmonids: meriforell, sea trout, Salmo trutta morpha trutta, or jõeforell (lit. river trout) aka hõrnas, brown trout, S. t. m. fario (these two are actually the same species, but whereas the former is anadromic, or spends most of its life the sea and returns to the river to spawn, the latter is essentially freshwater); the variously named harjus, harjakas, (both from hari:harja, crest, due to its large dorsal fin), ärn, õrn (these two names derived from the above hõrnas) or hõbeforell (lit. silver trout), grayling, Thymallus thymallus; or vikerforell: the steelhead, rainbow or ocean trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, renamed from Richardson’s S. gairdneri. For those tempted by logo-erotic nomenclature, the mykiss part of the name bears no relation to ichthyandric osculation, but comes from the fish’s Kamchatkan name ‘mykizha’, original spelling unsure, my Kamchatkan’s a little rusty. Named after local trout farm.
