Preferred term

fish  

Definition

  • Fish remains are readily identifiable components of garbage worldwide, if for no other reason than their smell, yet the contribution they make to the amount of garbage that accumulates is difficult to calculate. Fish bones are relatively delicate compared to those of land animals and do not stand up as well to post-depositional chemical and mechanical processes.
