SMELT. [See Smelled.]
Any one of numerous species of small silvery
salmonoid fishes of the genus Osmerus and allied genera, which
ascend rivers to spawn, and sometimes become landlocked in lakes. They
are esteemed as food, and have a peculiar odor and taste.
* The most important species are the European smelt (Osmerus eperlans) (called also eperlan, sparling, and spirling), the Eastern American smelt (O. mordax), the California smelt (O. thalichthys), and the surf smelt (Hypomesus olidus). The name is loosely applied to various other small fishes, as the lant, the California tomcod, the spawn eater, the silverside. A gull; a simpleton.
[Obs.]
Beau. *** Fl.
Sand smelt (Zoö]l.), the silverside. To melt
or fuse, as, ore, for the purpose of separating and refining the
metal; hence, to reduce; to refine; to flux or scorify; as, to
smelt tin.
