Squeteague \Sque*teague"\ (skw[-e]*t[=e]g"), n. [from the North
   American Indian name.] (Zo["o]l.)
   An American sci[ae]noid fish ({Cynoscion regalis}), abundant
   on the Atlantic coast of the United States, and much valued
   as a food fish. It is of a bright silvery color, with
   iridescent reflections. Called also {weakfish}, {squitee},
   {chickwit}, and {sea trout}. The spotted squeteague ({C.
   nebulosus}) of the Southern United States is a similar fish,
   but the back and upper fins are spotted with black. It is
   called also {spotted weakfish}, and, locally, {sea trout},
   and {sea salmon}.
