A type of small fish found in bays and shallow coastal waters, or a bayfish.
Compound of 'bay' and 'smelt,' a small silvery fish. 'Smelt' comes from Old English and Old Norse languages, referring to small fish species valuable for food and bait.
Baysmelt is a folk or regional name for a fish—one of thousands of local common names for organisms that vary by region and aren't standardized like scientific names—which is why the same fish might be called different things in different communities.
