Ig syujem
Raron Fish in the Gheh̨u River
Ig syujems are bright yellow fish that are found in the large river that connects the Zeka Ocean and the inland sea Lake Raro. They live in the salty waters just before the lake itself, where the salt becomes hyperconcentrated and hard for life to live there. Ig syujems are widely fished and are a staple of the Raron diet.
Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
They are found in the salty waters of the river that feeds into Lake Raro. They swim in large schools that go up and down the length of the river, never entering the Zeka Ocean or the lake itself.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Ig syujems live in large schools. There is no leader that directs their action, and they move together as a unit through the waters. The fish will stay together and face the same way against currents.
Uses, Products, & Exploitation
Ig syujemaa are regularly fished for their delicious flesh. Common methods of preparation include:
- deboned and descaled then sauteed whole in fat and herbs
- filet baked in high temperature ovens for a crispy skin and flaky interior
- raw
Facial Characteristics
The head of the fish is much larger than the body, almost a perfect sphere attached to their spines. This goofy appearance is commonly mimicked by Raron children.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Like most other fish, ig syujems have four eyes, two on either side of their head, that are capable of a very wide angle of vision.
