[edit]halieutically (not comparable)
- (rare, humorous) In terms of fishing.
- 1877, John Jackson Manley, Notes on Fish and Fishing, page 267:
- But, however much to be despised gastronomically, the barbel halieutically, or in an angling point of view, amply makes up for his carnal insipidity and positive nastiness. He is essentially a game fish when hooked, and fights bravely to the last.
- 1883, Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art:
- […] perhaps the author himself, despite the hundred and fifty pages which he has filled, has been somewhat cramped by his attempt to be halieutically encyclopaedic.
