Maybe this is no new information, but during the qepHom, Marc Okrand
told several people the difference between {ghotI'} and {bIQDep}, which
are both defined as "fish", so I tell again.
Marc told me the following, said with my own words:
First, a {ghotI'} is a true fish, the animal that children would draw if
they hear the word "fish".
A {bIQDep} covers most animals that live in the sea. Marc gave as
possible examples "dolphins, whales, fish, octopus" but he said it's not
used for shrimps or even smaller animals like water bugs. When asked for
a seal, he said that a seal or a sealion does not really live IN the
water, so that's probably not a {bIQDep}.
Every {ghotI'} is a {bIQDep}, but not every {bIQDep} is a {ghotI'}.
