What does SAMLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A young salmon, especially one in the stage between the parr and the full smolt.
Anglers and river keepers use samlet for a salmon that is still small and living in fresh water. The word seems to blend salmon with the diminutive ending -let, and it has a close cousin in salmonet. Old fishing books treat samlet and parr as near neighbours, and older writers sometimes disagreed about whether they were the same fish. Rare today, it survives chiefly in specialist angling and natural-history writing.
