Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 1730’s Japan, One investigation to clarify the local products was carried out, and the final issues were submitted to the government with the name “Sanbutsucho”. On the other hand copies of the primal documents reported by farmers were kept in respective districts. We surveyed 3 papers of these historical materials presented from the villages around the Utsunomiya city, and identified the fishes reported by ancient and/or local names. 15 Names were identified to the taxonomical species. These results showed that the farmers of the Edo Age possessed high identification accuracy and taxonomic knowledge to fishes.
