   Note: The two British species are the great, or greater,
         weever ({Trachinus draco}), which becomes a foot long
         (called also {gowdie}, {sea cat}, {stingbull}, and
         {weaverfish}), and the lesser weever ({T. vipera}),
         about half as large (called also {otter pike}, and
         {stingfish}).
