/ˌoʊˈkwɑsə/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymons: proper name Oquassa, Oquossoc.

Etymology: < Oquassa, variant of the name of Oquossoc Lake, former name of Rangeley Lake, Maine, where the fish was found until 1904.Compare scientific Latin oquassa, specific name in the former binomial Salmo oquassa (C. Gerard 1854, in Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 4 263).

U.S. regional. Now rare.

A landlocked arctic char of the endemic subspecies Salvelinus alpinus oquassa, found in certain lakes in Maine. Also oquassa trout.It is now thought possible that all the arctic char of eastern North America may be referable to this subspecies.
