A small colorful fish found in Atlantic waters, with golden and reddish coloring, belonging to the wrasse family.
From 'gold' + 'sinny' (dialectal for small fish or small creature). Common in Cornwall and Irish coastal regions, the name describes the fish's distinctive coloring.
The goldsinny-wrasse has become increasingly common in British waters due to ocean warming—it's moving north from warmer southern regions, making it a living indicator of climate change that fishermen can observe directly.
