Illustrative Context

I can see a fish swimming in the water.

Target Sense

• The most generic noun for a live fish.
• Avoid terms specific to caught, cooked or prepared fish, e.g. in Spanish the lexeme in the IE-CoR sense is pez, not pescado (literally ‘fished’).
• Select the most generic term: avoid terms specific to either fresh or saltwater fish, for example.
• Follow common usage in the language, not strict biological classifications of what are or are not ‘fish’. Avoid technical terms.
