Author's note: "Baien Gyohin Zusho" is a fish encyclopedia by the late Edo period naturalist, Mouri Baien. The explanatory text is primarily in classical Chinese (Kanbun), so it contains many characters that cannot be displayed on a computer, as well as Kanbun reading marks (kaeriten) and okurigana. For readability, characters that cannot be displayed on a computer are represented as □, and in the case of names, they are shown as [■ is 〇+〇] whenever possible.

Additionally, Kanbun reading marks and okurigana are written in katakana and Chinese numerals, while furigana and okurigana are written in hiragana.
