yellowcheek (Elopichthys bambusa)
Etymology
About
The simplified character 鳡 (traditional 鱤) is a phono-semantic compound: the fish radical 鱼 (the simplified form of 魚) gives its meaning, and the phonetic 感 (gǎn, 'to feel' or 'sense') indicates the pronunciation. This radical categorizes it as a fish, and the character designates the yellowcheek, a large predatory freshwater fish endemic to East Asia.
