A young caplin fish, or the season when caplin are caught and processed.
Derived from caplin with the suffix -ing, indicating either a diminutive form (young caplin) or a gerundive form (the activity of catching caplin).
During caplin 'runs' in summer, entire towns in Newfoundland would halt to harvest the massive schools migrating toward shore—it was literally how people fed their families for the whole year.
