Besides kraken, the monster went under a variety of names early on, the most common after kraken being horven ("the horv"). [17] Icelandic philologist Finnur Jónsson explained this name in 1920 as an alternative form of harv (lit. ' harrow ') and conjectured that this name was suggested by the inkfish's action of seeming to plow the sea. [16]
The minnow family (which includes carp), Cyprinidae, is the largest family of vertebrates, with over 2400 species known today. [96] The largest species is the giant barb (Catlocarpio siamensis), which is endemic to three river basins in southeast Asia and reaches a size of as much as 3 m (9.8 ft) and a weight of as much as 300 kg (660 lb).

The largest confirmed weight of a giant octopus is 74 kg (163 lb), [253] with a 7 m (23 ft) arm span (with the tentacles fully extended) and a head-to-tentacle-tip length of 3.9 m (13 ft). [254] Specimens have been reported up to 125 kg (276 lb) but are unverified. A weight of 10 - 50kg is a much more common size. [1]

The relative weight (W r) of an individual fish is its actual weight divided by its standard weight, times 100%. [8] A fish of "normal" weight has a relative weight of 100 percent. The relative weight of a fish does not indicate its health on a continuous scale from 0 -100%, however.
