A person who catches or fishes for dargo fish, particularly in Australian waters.
Compound of dargo (Australian fish) and -man (suffix indicating occupation or role). Created in Australian English to describe fishermen specializing in dargo catch.
This is a beautifully specific occupational word that probably only makes sense to people who live near the Australian coast—each region's fishing traditions create their own specialized vocabulary.
Carries masculine agent suffix -man, historically referencing male laborers or skilled workers. While descriptive of historical practice, modern usage can exclude non-male practitioners of the same craft or labor.
Use 'dargs worker,' 'dargs laborer,' or simply the function-focused term 'dargsman/dargswoman' when gender is relevant contextually, or default to gender-neutral 'dargs practitioner' or 'skilled laborer.'
