Boops Boops
(en.m.wikipedia.org)
I read that it’s pronounced boh-ops but I still read it as boops
If it's wrong, I don't want to be right
Boop
The german name seems to be
Gelbstriemenbrasse
Also:
Like many sea bream, it is a protogynous hermaphrodite, i.e. the female sexual organs mature first and then the male ones. Young fish are therefore females, old and large specimens are males.
... interesting concept.
Swedish one is Oxögonfisk, which looks like a name of a metal band or a weird chemical name.
As written at the very start on Wikipedia:
'from Ancient Greek βόωψ, literally 'ox-eyed'
Ah, so Swedish is literally using "ox eyed fish" as the name.
