Meaning of "dealfish" in English

A dealfish is a type of long, slender fish found in the deep waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is characterized by its silvery, ribbon-like body, which can reach lengths up to six feet. Despite its impressive size, the dealfish is rarely seen due to its preference for deep-sea habitats. It is not commonly targeted by commercial fisheries, rendering it a mysterious inhabitant of the ocean depths. The term "dealfish" is typically used in marine biology to describe this specific species.

Meaning of "dealfish" in French

In French, "dealfish" refers to the same maritime species known for its elongated, thin body and shiny, silver appearance. The term "dealfish" does not have a direct French translation and is used as is, often in scientific or maritime contexts. Similarly to its English usage, it denotes a creature dwelling primarily in deep-sea environments and is known among marine biologists for its unique physical attributes. Being elusive and less visible in shallow waters, it retains an aura of mystery within French nautical discussions as well.
