GWYNIAD

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GWYNIAD , the name given to a
fish
  of the genus Coregonus or
White
 
fish
  (C. clupeoides), inhabiting the large lakes of North Wales and the north of England. At Ullswater it is known by the name of " schelly," at Loch Lomond by that of " powen." It is tolerably abundant in Lake
Bala
 , keeping to the deepest portion of the lake for the greater
part
  of the year, but appearing in shoals near the shores at certain seasons. It is well flavoured, like all the species of Coregonus, but scarcely attains to the
weight
  of a
pound
 . The name gwyniad is a Welsh word, and signifies- " shining "; and it is singular that a similar fish in British
Columbia
 , also belonging to the family of Salmonoids, is called by the natives "quinnat," from the silvery lustre of its scales, the word having in their language the same meaning as the Welsh " gwyniad."
