What 鯂 means
鯂 is recorded as an alternate written form of 穌. It appears in the Longkan Shoujing, a Chinese character dictionary completed in 997.
Older glosses for 穌 connect its sense first with gathering scattered stalks, then with resting or recovering, and later with reviving or returning to life. In Mandarin, pinyin (the system for writing its sounds with Latin letters) gives the reading as sū: roughly “soo” on a high, level tone.
Rare and bookish, it fits a discussion of Chinese characters more naturally than everyday chat.
The fish component is no guide to its meaning; the documented link is to 穌.

1Why does 鯂 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
