GLOSSARY OF JAPANESE
FISHERIES TERMS
General Headquarters Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers

Tokyo 1946
GLOSSARY OF J.APAllISE FISHlWES ~S 1./
1. Flsh and fishing play such an important role in Japanese life tbat an extensive and complicated fisheries vocabulary bas evolved. Bach of the hundreds of kinds of fish, shellfish, and seaweed bas several vernacular names, the wide alsortment of prepared seafood adds many ~ore words; and the variety of fishing gear bas a large specialized nomenclatllre.
2. An interpreter or translator who 1s not trained infisberias terminology finds himself contused by the many Japanese terms, some of which have no exact cOllnterpart in Engl1ah. The Japanese when translating their own phraseology into English make freqll8nt unintentional mistakes because of the complicated nature of the subject matter. Many organisms which are abllndant in Japan ~re not to be found in any part of the Englis~speaking world. and attempts at t~nslatio~ are often inacc~Ge.
3. This glossary was prepared to establish a standardized vocabulary It should help the members of ~e Occupation Forces to understand Japanese publications and reports. It should help the Jap~ese atlthor1ties in translating their reports into English.
4. The best accepted common names for commercially important marlne_ and freshwate;r animals and plants are presented. Countless local vernacular names for fish. shellfish. and seaweed are 1n use in various parts of Japan. SOme o,t the most widely accepted ot theBe names are presented, bu~ lack of space has precluded the inclu8ion of all local names. For example one species ofs8&weed has at least ten vernacular names, only the most ,commonly ueed of which are included.
5. Wherever possible those English words which have been incorrectly used in Japaneee translations are included with ~ppropriate notations. This ahould help to clarifY ambiguous statistical tables. The word .Suzu.ld" can .be taken as an example of mis-translatl00. "Suztlki" is the name for the common aea-bass and 111 lIometime. translat.ed as such. However, in many reports it 1s translated as perch or sea-perch for no apparent reason. IlKaulasu", widell is the word for barracuda, is translated a8 saury-pike 1n a standard dict,lonary and is lIometimes rendered as pike. two fishes which have only a superficial resemblance to the barracuda.. To complicate the mat~er further, young barracuda, "kokamasull , is sometimes translated as pickerel. It can read1ly be seen how the unwary are led astray by loose tran81atio~ ••
