The word “cunner” refers to a type of fish, specifically a small marine fish known scientifically as *Tautogolabrus adspersus*. It is commonly found in the western Atlantic Ocean, especially in coastal waters. Cunners are often characterized by their oval bodies and can be recognized by their blue-green coloration. They are also sometimes known for their presence in recreational fishing and aquaculture. Additionally, in some contexts, “cunner” may informally refer to a person who engages in a specific activity, but this usage is less common.
