This might be a double definition.

'divers may use this spear hunting' is the first definition.

'fish' is the second definition.
(pike is a kind of fish)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pike that I've seen before include "Fresh-water fish or old spear" , "Voracious freshwater fish" , "may be hooked" , "Long European freshwater predator" , "Fish - old infantry weapon" .)
