Q: I have been curious for a while now about, "what is considered the same جنس when it comes to fish"... more specifically, can I trade 1 tuna for 2 salmons, would it be riba? Is the جنس the entire species of fish (which would entail riba) or is it in each respective sub-species, e.g. tune, salmon, yellowtail etc.?
A: Fish does not come under the ambit of riba.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
