A large, predatory marine fish (Chirocentrus dorab) found in tropical waters, also called wolf herring, valued as a food fish.
From Sanskrit or an Indian language origin, the scientific name preserves the common local name for this fish species in South Asian waters.
The dorab is lightning-fast and terrifyingly toothy—it's called 'wolf herring' for good reason, and it's been sustaining coastal communities for millennia while keeping its original Sanskrit-rooted name.
