The largest fish species in the Amur is the kaluga, attaining a length as great as 5.6 metres (18 ft). The Amur River is the only river in the world in which subtropical Asian fish such as snakehead, coexist with Arctic Siberian fish, such as pike . The river is home to a variety of other large predatory fish such as Taimen, Amur Catfish, and yellowcheek . </P> <P> Historically, it was common to refer to a river simply as "water". The word for "water" is similar in a number of Asiatic languages: mul (물) in Korean, muren (mörön) in Mongolian, and mizu (みず) in Japanese . The name "Amur" may have evolved from a root word for water, coupled with a size modifier for "Big Water". </P>
