nases


Explanation:
The nase is a fish species.

See http://www.wissen.swr.de/sf/begleit/bg0016/nn21a.htm
"Die Nase (Chondrostoma nasus) ist eine in Mitteleuropa verbreitete Fischart, die als stark gefährdet gilt."

I arrived at this first source by googling for "Nase +Fischart". Using the Latin name, I then continued my search on .uk sites, which resulted in (among other sources):

http://www.efishbusiness.co.uk/formsandguides/part08.asp
"Nase - Chondrostoma nasus"

(The English seems to have taken over the German name.)
