Re: Pouting (Trisopterus luscus)

Charles,

Could you add a couple of new English/Common Name synonymy for the Bib (Trisopterus luscus).  This marine fish is often known to anglers and to the fishing trade as Pouting.  Other names attributed to this fish are Pout Whiting; and Pout.

See over at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouting_%28fish%29

Names to be added are:  Pouting; Pout and Pout Whiting.

Cheers and many thanks.

Re: Pouting (Trisopterus luscus)

Steve,

Pout and Pouting have been added - with Pouting as the preferred common name and Bib and Pout as synonyms.

Pout Whiting has not been added as this is an American rather than a UK name (according to Fishbase).

Re: Pouting (Trisopterus luscus)

It still concerns me that you are unwilling to enter names that are not supposedly "UK". Surely the whole point of the dictionary is that it is able to programmatically retain the original recorded name, whilst mapping it to the preffered scientific for accurate analysis.
