Sturgeon (鱣魚): [the first character is pronounced with the fanqie] 展 + 連. Guo's Commentary to the Erya says: 'The sturgeon is a large fish; its mouth is beneath the chin, its body lacks scales, and its flesh is yellow. The large ones are twenty to thirty feet long. East of the Yangtze it is called the huángyú.' The Shuowen says: 'It takes the radical 魚 (fish) and 𮧊 is phonetic.'
