Grosshead

/ˈɡrɒs.hed/ noun

Definition

A freshwater fish with an enlarged or prominent head, sometimes used as a colloquial name for certain minnow or carp species.

Etymology

Compound of 'gross' (large, coarse) and 'head', descriptively naming fish that have disproportionately large heads relative to their body size.

Kelly Says

Some fish evolved larger heads to develop stronger suction for eating—grossheads can slurp up food from the bottom of streams with impressive force!
