Fishers should not feel guilty for the bloodstains on the fish's head, as these are largely self-inflicted. They can instead feel guilty about the hook through the mouth, as well as the gutting and cleaning that comes shortly after.
This species of wrasse does, in fact, owe its name to the Bloodbrine Sea in which it dwells. It was merely a happy coincidence that the habit these wavekin have of smashing their lumpy heads together often gives them a scarlet-stained appearance.
