Kaloittain

Kaloittain is a Finnish adverb meaning “by fish species” or “according to fish type.” It is used to indicate that information is broken down or categorized according to the species of fish in data presentation, such as statistical tables, market reports, scientific texts, and product labeling.

Linguistically, kaloittain is formed from kala, meaning fish, with the suffix -ittain, which creates adverbial or classificatory expressions in Finnish. The form signals a division of information into discrete fish-related categories and is part of a broader set of expressions used to indicate categorization in data.

In practical use, kaloittain appears as a heading or descriptive label in tables, charts, and reports where figures are broken down by different fish species. It is most common in contexts involving fisheries statistics, biology, aquaculture, and the seafood industry, where precise, species-level information is important. The term conveys an objective, formal tone and is typically found in technical or official Finnish texts rather than casual or everyday language.
