1. blackfish

   Blackfish is a term that is used in different regions to describe several species of dark-colored fish. This can range from species like the Tautog in the Eastern United States, or the Pilot Whale, which is also referred to as blackfish in some English-speaking countries. Some Pacific species such as the Alaskan Blackfish and the species from the family Centrolophidae are also known as Blackfish. The term, therefore, does not correspond to a specific scientific classification, but rather a common name for various types of dark-colored fish. Additionally, Blackfish is also the title of a 2013 documentary about the controversy of keeping orcas in captivity.
