Young salmon on its first return from the sea (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grilse

(Other definitions for grilse that I've seen before include "Young salmon returning to fresh water for the first time" , "Young fish" , "Salmon on first return to fresh water" , "Young salmon returning from sea to spawn" , "A one-year old salmon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
