Author's Note: "Bai-en Gyohin Zusho" is a fish encyclopedia by Mori Bai-en, a naturalist of the late Edo period. As the explanatory text is primarily in Classical Chinese, many characters cannot be displayed on a computer, and it includes kaeriten (reversion marks) and okurigana. For readability, characters that cannot be displayed are marked as □, and for names, I have attempted to show them in the format [■ is 〇+〇] where possible. Also, the kaeriten and okurigana for the Classical Chinese are written in katakana and kanji numerals, while furigana and okurigana are written in hiragana.
