WHAT DOES GASPEREAU MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alewife

The alewife is an anadromous species of herring found in North America. Alewives reach a maximum length of about 40 centimeters, but have an average length of about 25 centimeters. The front of the body is deep and larger than other fish found in the same waters, and its common name is said to come from comparison with a corpulent female tavernkeeper. In Atlantic Canada it is known as the gaspereau. In southwestern Nova Scotia, it is called a kiack. The word "gaspereau" comes from the Acadian French word "gasparot", first mentioned by Nicolas Denys. William Francis Ganong, New Brunswick biologist and historian, wrote: Gaspereau, or Gasparot. Name of a common salt-water fish of Acadia, first used, so far as I can find, by Denys in 1672. Nowhere can I find any clue to its origin. It seems not to be Indian. Acadians named two rivers after the fish, the Gaspereau River in Nova Scotia and the Gaspereaux River in New Brunswick. In the Southeast US, when sold and used as bait, the fish is often referred to as "LY". There are anadromous and landlocked forms. The landlocked form is also called a sawbelly or mooneye.
