What 𪓺 means

It names a fish in a regional natural-history entry.

Shen Ying's third-century record describes nature around coastal Linhai. Taiping Yulan, a Song encyclopedia compiled 977–983, says the fish resembles 鱦 (glossed there as a small fish) and measures two chi, a traditional Chinese length unit. In the cited entry, no modern species is named.
