What does HAUSEN mean in Scrabble?
noun

The beluga, a very large sturgeon of the Black and Caspian Seas whose roe is sold as fine caviar.
Hausen is the German name for this great fish, and English borrowed it mainly in older books on natural history and the fur and fish trades. A hausen can grow to several metres in length and live for decades, which makes it slow to recover from overfishing. Its swim bladder was once boiled down to make isinglass, a clear gelatine used for clarifying drinks.
