Fish Quiz

[fm1978]

Yeah, the name of the fish gives away the location!

 

[TallTree01]

Yeah that's why I was going to say FM

 

[fm1978]

It's not the Caspian or Black sea, although Caspian Beluga is very expensive!

 

[fm1978]

Any takers? It's the name of a country, if that helps? And it's also in the record books....

 

[TallTree01]

The Indian Ocean?

 

[fm1978]

Tehe, since when is the Indian Ocean a country, TT??
 
It's... "country's name" Beluga!
 
Come on people!

Russia.

 

[TallTree01]

India is a country.

You'd expect that Ryan would be right with Russian, but I believe it to be Iranian.

 

[fm1978]

Yes, Russia, where Caspian Beluga comes from is one of the most expensive, but, TLM, you are correct with Iranian, thank goodness!
 
Your turn!

Saw some in Harrods last year. I hasten to add that last year was the first time in my (then) 42 years of life that I had visited Harrods.
 
Any-road-up, as they say oop north.
 
This question is in a similar vein to my last. As you will all, no doubt, be aware, the Dwarf Gourami has the scientific name of Trichogaster Lalius. What does the genus name "Trichogaster" mean?

 

[fm1978]

3 of something!

Aha, you have fallen into my little trap. You lose 25 points.

Tricho - of or relating to hair
 
gaster - relating to the abdomen
 
 
So, trichogaster means having hairs grow from the abdomen.
