Translation examples

lateral fin

De forma que cuando veía un pez grande, apuntaba directamente a la zona ventral debajo de las branquias y a las aletas laterales dado que la reacción instintiva de un pez cuando los hieres en esa zona es nadar hacia arriba, alejándose del pico, justo en la dirección en la que yo estaba tirando.
So with large fish I aimed for the ventral area beneath their gills and their lateral fins, for a fish’s instinctive reaction when struck there was to swim up, away from the hook, in the very direction I was pulling.

ya le había comido media cola y reducido a muñones las dos aletas laterales. Al ver aquello, Cristiano se apresuró a decírselo a la dueña, pero esta se quedó mirándolo con la misma expresión con la que miraba los botes de comida para peces rojos.
He had already eaten half of its tail and its lateral fins were reduced to two stumps. Cristiano, seeing what that monster was doing, had run to the owner of the shop to tell her. But she had stared at him with about as much interest as she showed in the tubs of goldfish food.

side flap

Espartaco jamás ha visto un diseño parecido en su tierra, pero le gusta la punta caída y las aletas laterales que cuelgan tan abajo que podría envolvérselas como una bufanda.
He’d never seen a design exactly like it in his homeland, but he liked the oversize droop of the point, and the way the side flaps hung so low, he could wrap them around his neck like a scarf.
