How it's used
This character is almost exclusively used in formal or scientific contexts to refer to the specific fish species. In daily life, people rarely distinguish between different types of salmonids and will often just use the general term 魚 or refer to imported fish by their English names. It is not a word you will hear in a wet market or a casual restaurant setting.
