Noun

nase (plural nases or nase)

1. Any of the genus Chondrostoma of freshwater potamodromous fishes.
   • 1885, Charles Rau, Prehistoric Fishing in Europe and North America. Archæological Researches in Nicaragua (Smithsonian contributions to knowledge; XXV), City of Washington: Smithsonian Institution, pages 45–46:

     Fish-remains.—People living upon lakes plentifully stocked with fish, it can be imagined, availed themselves of all means in their power for capturing them, and the numerous remains of fishes discovered on the sites of the ancient lacustrine villages bear witness to the extent of their efforts in that direction. Not only the bones of fishes but also their scales, the latter even in a good state of preservation, have been extracted from the lake-mud. “With respect to fishes,” says Professor Rütimeyer, “many species were found which are now the most abundant in our lakes and rivers.” The following are mentioned:—
     The salmon (Salmo salar, Lin.), the pike (Esox lucius. Lin.), the perch (Perca fluviatilis, Lin.), the carp (Cyprinus carpio, Lin.), the dace (Cyprinus leuciscus, Lin.), the chub (Cyprinus dobula, Nilss.), the nase (Chondrostoma nasus, [Lin.] Agass.), the burbot (Lita vulgaris, Jen.), and the rud (Scardinius erythrophthalmus, [Lin.] Bon.).

Derived terms

• common nase (Chondrostoma nasus)
• Iberian nase (Pseudochondrostoma polylepis)
• southwest European nase (Parachondrostoma toxostoma)
