Author's Note: "Bai-en Gyohin Zusho" is a fish encyclopedia by the late Edo period naturalist, Mouri Bai-en. The explanatory text is primarily in classical Chinese style, containing many kanji that cannot be displayed on computers, as well as kaeriten (reversion marks) and okurigana. For readability, characters that cannot be displayed on computers are represented as □, and in the case of names, they are shown in the format [■ is 〇+〇] whenever possible.

Additionally, kaeriten and okurigana for the classical Chinese text are written in katakana and Chinese numerals, while furigana and okurigana are written in hiragana.
