Dagaa
The info about the loval name dagaa is probably correct but misleading; as dagaa means any small fish denoting the size not a species. See also entry Kapenta where the same "dagaa" is given as local name. Probably better to remove that local name. Ref: "Standard Swahili-English dictionary" (so called Madan-Johnson, Oxford 1939, reprint Nairobi 2002) says: "Dagaa - very small fish, fish in an early stage; like whitebait; a favorite dish with natives. Tanda dagaa, catch dagaa, by means of a large sheet of calico as the native women do. (? Ar. دقة, a minute thing, &c.)". 91.98.113.164 (talk) 13:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
