The fish, by Oxford E. Dictionary. Usually it's obvious from the by-line, but 
once I picked the word "aroph" and the real def was by Theophrastus Bombastus 
von Hohenheim, aka Paracelsus. He made up the word by abbreviating "aroma 
philosophorum".

Google "dogdrave" and you'll find some lists of fish prices in role-playing 
games.
