One of the most interesting Of fish
Of Japanese waters is the oriental sail
fish Histiophorus orientalis). The
generic name, given by DR.. Guenther.
means the sail bearer and refers to
the huge dorsal fin possessed by the
species.
The fin stands higher than the body
above It and is used as q sail before
the wind. It is large fish, ten feet in
length and weighing 100 pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs In rough
and windy weather, with the huge fms
above the water.
It is q favorite food fish, and the an
nual catch is nearly 100000 pounds.
The sail fish is caught by means of a
harpoon.
Another food fish, known as a dol
phin or dorado. is sometimes caught in
curious way. The fishes congregate
under Il decoy bush and raft made of
bamboos and are then caught by hooks
baited with squids. or the decoy bush
is surrounded by seine net, and the
dolphins are driven by beating the sur
face of the water with sticks. This fish
is eaten both fresh and salt and is as
great favorite in western Japan as
the salmon is in the northeast.-Zoolo-
