The shalass, sometimes referred to as the silver shalass, was a type of fish endemic to the North.[1][2][3][4]
Description[]
The shalass bore a resemblance to trout, were covered in silver scales, and on average grew to be 2 feet (0.61 meters) in length.[5][4]
Ecology[]
These fish were considered to be a delicacy throughout the North.[1][2][3][4]
According to Volothamp Geddarm, they were best caught in a particular type of fish basket known as a cone net. However, expert fisherfolk were known to simply stab them with spears from a bank or raft.[5]
Habitats[]
The shalass were primarily known to inhabit the Dessarin River.[6][2][3][5] Though they could also be found in the Surbrin River[7] and Laughingflow.[8][7] Further north, they could be found in the Luruar region in the River Rauvin.[9]
