Speck=a rotten spot in fruit? - for native English speakers
Oxford dictionaries writes that a speck can mean “a rotten spot in fruit”.

Perhaps they just mean a discolouration, but when I read “rotten” I think of something other than a mere discolouration. Is this “a rotten spot in fruit” meaning something you have ever encountered?
Thanks for your help!
My guess is that secondary definition of "speck" is semi-technical, used in agriculture and manufacturing. It's not familiar to me.

Speck just means a small piece or dot.
"There is only a small speck of mold on the apple, so I think it's safe to eat."
"I'm still finding specks of dirt on my coat after that weekend in the country."
"Living with teenage boys means there's never a speck of food in the house."
