Mitä tarkoittaa
Dory on yleinen nimitys useille eri kala-lajeille, jotka kuuluvat joko Pleuronectidae- tai Nematistidae-perheisiin. Dory-kalat ovat erityisesti tunnettuja niiden erikoisista muodoistaan ja väreistään, ja niitä tavataan yleensä trooppisissa ja subtrooppisissa vesissä. Dory-kalojen liha on suosittua ravintona, ja ne ovat myös hyvin tunnettuja akvaario-kaloina niiden kauniin ulkonäön vuoksi. Dory-kalat, kuten sinidory (Paracanthurus hepatus), ovat erityisesti tunnettuja Disneyn 'Finding Nemo' -elokuvasta, jossa yksi päähenkilöistä on sinidory.
