The fish Mugil cephalus is variously called ボラ, トド, イナ or ナヨシ. The former term is most general, or sometimes refers specifically to specimens of about 30 to 40 cm in total length.[1] The term イナ sometimes refers specifically to young specimens under 20 cm in length,[1][2], as does the archaic ナヨシ, though イナ can also refer to the species generally.[3] The form トド refers to the largest specimens, usually over 50 cm.[1][2] Mullet less than 10 cm are sometimes called スバシリ (subashiri) or オボコ (oboko).[1]
