| Observaciones | Currently used, replaced 'Mud shark' used in Ref. 10161. 'Sixgill', i.e., with six gill slits; 'shark', of obscure origins but appears to have been introduced by members of the Sir John Hawkins' expedition ( a ballad of 1569 recorded 'There is no proper name for [the fish] that I know, but that certain men of Captain Hawkins's doth call it a shark'), ressembles Austrian dialect 'schirk', i.e., sturgeon (p. 471 in Ref. 11979). Also Ref. 4925, 33292. |
