Fish Names in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali

Getting Fish Names really difficult as all fishes look similar. Local shops also confuse us a lot with the type of fish. For example in Tamilnadu fish shops, the seller used to say all fishes as Paara(Trevally fish), but actually, it is not the same fish. Also, if we don't know fish names exactly then buying is difficult. I traveled to the USA for few years, I know the fish names in Tamil, but I don't know them in English, so I faced difficulty in buying fish. Then I started listing and update the below for my reference. It would useful for you folks also.

Let me know if I need to update the fish names in your language in the comment section, so I can try to update.
