A spot or marking located on a fish's fin, often used to identify different species.
From English 'fin' (body part of fish) + 'spot' (a mark or dot). Compound formed in modern ichthyology for species identification.
Fish researchers use finspots like fingerprints—each fish can be tracked and identified by unique spot patterns, letting scientists study wild populations without capturing them.
