What 鮇 means
It is a specialized fish name in both traditions.
The Chinese classic 山海經 (Classic of Mountains and Seas) mentions 寐魚; Guo Pu (郭璞) identifies it as 鮇魚. Later name lists give 嘉魚, 丙穴魚 and 拙魚.
Japanese uses 鮇 for the freshwater fish いわな, also written 岩魚. A fish-name survey records the Kumamoto use and cites a Higo (historic Kumamoto) produce register from 1735–1738.
