William Francis Ganong, New Brunswick biologist and historian, wrote: Gaspereau, or Gasparot.

Acadians named two rivers after the fish, the Gaspereau River in Nova Scotia and the Gaspereaux River in New Brunswick. In eastern Massachusetts, Alewife Brook flows through Arlington,
Gnome sort implementation in C#: Here is pseudocode for the gnome sort using a zero-based array: Given an unsorted array, a = [5, 3, 2, 4], the gnome sort takes the following steps during the while loop. The current position is highlighted in bold and indicated as a value of the variable codice_1. The gnome sort may be optimized by introducing a variable to store the position before traversing back toward the beginning of the list. With this optimization, the gnome sort would become a variant of the insertion sort. Here is pseudocode for an optimized gnome sort using a zero-based array:
