水生动物的统称。

"common name"?
This is my goldfish. Its name is "Shuizu". Yes, I know it's a very common name ... :-)

Or is it one of these senses of "common name"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_name_(disambiguation)
(I don't think so.)

"common name" is quite ambiguous:
百胜 /BaiSheng, common name for Chinese company/
高陽 /common name, e.g. Gao Yang (1926-1992), Taiwanese historical novelist/
汗斑 /common name for 花斑癣, tinea versicolor/

We can probably improve this entry's definition:
俗名 俗名 [su2 ming2] /common name/
LA says
1) 非正式的名稱;一般通俗使用的名稱。
例 「碳酸氫鈉俗名小蘇打」。
2) 僧尼、道士等在未出家前使用的名字。
例 「印光大師俗名趙丹桂」。
