1840, The Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, Volume 22, page 194:

Among the five different gillnet mesh sizes used by the Korean gillnet fishery, the 86 and 105 mm mesh were most commonly used for targeting on neon flying squid, Ommastrephes bartrami (Lesueur), in the North Pacific.

1993, Bulletin - International North Pacific Fisheries Commission, Volume 53, Issues 1-3, International North Pacific Fisheries Commission, page 45:

For flying squid, designated observers will measure the mantle lengths of 30 flying squid randomly sampled from a single observed section each day.

piss clam

Some years we dug for piss clams. Small holes showed up here and there in the wet sand at low tide. When you stepped next to one a stream of water shot up your leg and you knew a steamer was underneath.

When we saw a piss clam piss up through the mud, we would dig him up with the pitchfork.

2012, Bob Vargovcik, Bayonne Boy, AuthorHouse, published 2012, →ISBN, page 14:

Me, happy as a piss clam at high tide, workin' as a busboy in a deli afternoons and nights, other odd jobs during the day.

ugari

en-noun

ugari (countable and uncountable, plural ugari or ugaris)

Our blackfellows are animated by no sentiment, and, instead of posing in an attitude, surveying with poetical eye the truly grand scene, search for a bivalve called, in the aboriginal tongue, Yugarie, a delicate member of the mussel family, in much esteem by fishermen as bait, and by the natives as a bonne bouche which makes the sea-side tolerable. To us this trudge across the dismal swamps and sandy ridge signifies a final spectacle of great, if melancholy, grandeur; to Kings Brown and Brady it meant a heavy feed on Yugarie.

1880 July, “Redspinner” [pseudonym; William Senior], “Camping Out”, in Sylvanus Urban [pseudonym], editor, The Gentleman's Magazine, volume CCXLVII (CCXLIX on title page), number 1795, London: Chatto & Windus, […], →OCLC, pages 63–64:

Next morning these sisters went out on to the main beach to gather yugaries there.

1904, Constance Campbell Petrie, chapter XVI, in Tom Petrie’s Reminiscences of Early Queensland […], Brisbane, Qld.: Watson, Ferguson & Co., →OCLC, page 123:

The shell-fish Donax deltoideus, commonly called ‘ugari’ in Southern Queensland, seem gifted with intellect or reasoning powers.

1917 August 16, The Bulletin, Sydney, N.S.W.: William Macleod for The Bulletin Newspaper Co. Ltd., →ISSN, →OCLC, page 22, column 4:

There was the inner core ready to eat with the wallaby, the baked fish, big pearl shell oysters in their shells, and yugari shell-fish.

1980, Thomas Albert Roy, The Vengeance of the Dolphin, London: The Bodley Head, →ISBN, page 144:

The occupants fished, flaked stone for artefacts and built fires but did not gather many shellfish locally (most of the few fragments found in this phase are identifiable as Eugarie from the east coast).

1989, J[ay] Hall, G. Bowen, “An Excavation of a Midden Complex at the Toulkerrie Oystermens Lease, Moreton Island, S.E. Queensland”, in Queensland Archaeological Research, volume 6, St. Lucia, Brisbane, Qld.: Department of Anthropology and Sociology, University of Queensland, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-05-08, page 24:

As we lived on an island, sea foods were in abundance. Our sea spirit Quandamooka, which the Europeans renamed Moreton Bay, kept us well supplied with food. Fish, oysters, crabs, quampee (pearl shell), eugaree (pippy) and dugong (sea cow).

1990, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, “Note”, in Jack Davis, Mudrooroo Narogin, Stephen Muecke, Adam Shoemaker, editors, Paperbark: A Collection of Black Australian Writings, St. Lucia, Brisbane, Qld.: University of Queensland Press, published 1996, →ISBN, page vii:

To all of us, suitcases were ports, sideboards duchesses and instead of pippies and macadamias, we had yugaries and bopple nuts, although we rather unimaginatively kept spelling the nut as it sounded despite Miss Ruthven's appeal […]

1996, John Lonie, “Friend of Dorothy”, in Acts of Love, Sydney, N.S.W.: Blackwattle Press, →ISBN, page 16:

When he walks barefoot on the damp sand tiny bubbles erupt, reveal the location of ugaris. […] When he sees a gap in the breaks, he takes precarious steps towards the worm, moves to the side of it and places the flesh of the ugari almost underneath it, […]

2006, Nerida Newton, chapter 2, in Death of a Whaler, Crows Nest, Sydney, N.S.W.: Allen & Unwin, →ISBN, page 19:

In front of him were great piles of blackened eugarie shells, relics of past aboriginal feasts. But the fires that had burned here among the dunes were long dead, and there was no sign of recent use of the site.

2009, Doris Gray-Woods, “The Coastal Survey of 1840”, in With Compass, Chain & Courage, Salisbury, Qld.: Boolarong Press, →ISBN, page 36:

There were three types of natural bait: ugari, worms and cunjevois. Ugari were a cockle type of shellfish that lived in the sand of ocean beaches and were easy to find. [...] If there were any ugari about, we would feel them between our toes, then pick them up and put them in a bucket or in our pockets.

A climbing fish was known to the Greeks; but though mentioned by Oppian, in about twenty different parts of his "Halieuticks," and most curious qualities attributed to it, we do not correctly know this fish, the preke: "he has eight long legs or fibres, four on each side of his head, which serve him to crawl, cling to the rocks, and entangle his prey."
