乌贼鱼
味酸，气平。无毒。（性畏芨蔹、附子、白芨、白蔹、黑附子。）产于靠近海边的郡州。传说昔日秦王东游时，丢弃的算囊所化。如今种类繁衍生育，外形依然相似。（口旁有两根长须如带子一般，风浪稍急时用须缠绕石头作为缆绳，所以又名缆鱼。）腹中的血和胆汁，像墨汁一样黑且很多。每当看见大鱼或人，就吐出混有黑色的水来自卫。人们反而认为这是常态，得以用网捕捉。肉质食用也很美味，能益气强志。且能通经闭，兼治毛发黑枯。骨名为海螵蛸（乌贼骨），是医科切要的药物。
质地轻脆而白，适合雕刻成首饰片。选择上面纹路直顺的才是真品，（上面纹路横着的，是鲨鱼骨。）在伏天煮卤水时不可缺失。仍要在烧过的地坎中藏闭，务必经过昼夜研磨过筛。做成散剂或调膏，用于救治疾病。主治女子漏下赤白带下，经血闭止，阴部腐蚀肿痛；治疗妇人寒热瘕聚症，惊气入脐，环绕腹部疼痛。去除眼睛上的浮翳，收敛疮口腐肉并驱逐之。用腹中浓黑的醋磨浓后外摩，虫心痛顿服即愈。写契约若墨色略淡，过了一年也完全消失。当地百姓借贷骗钱，常常使用这种书契。作为客商，不可不知道这一点。
河豚鱼
味甘，气温。有大毒。江淮河海都有生长，通常在冬至后出现。符合中孚卦的象意，此鱼应验了它，所以《易经》中有“信及豚鱼”的说法。形状类似蝌蚪，身体短尾巴尖。背部黑色上面有黄色纹路，腹部白色且眼睛能开闭。内部没有胆，外部没有腮。碰到东西就生气，腹部膨胀如球大。一旦浮在水面，又名嗔鱼。肉质味道虽然珍贵，但肝和卵极毒。大鱼和水獭都不敢吞食。得到它必须按照方法烹调，（去掉肝和卵，用水洗净血液。移到洁净的锅具中，盖严密煮，忌讳沾染灰尘。杀人尤其灵验，宜用橄榄木或荻草焚烧煮制为佳，不要用烟煤。）不这样就会中毒突然死亡。谚语说：“舍命吃河豚。”善于养生的人，宁可谨慎也不要入口。毒发初觉时，急忙嚼食芦根，或者用橄榄水煎，满饮浓汤可以解毒。也能治疗小病，曾记载于《神农本草经》，理腰脚去疳积，杀虫补虚，也能去湿气消肿。江豚形状，出没鼻中发出声音。船夫等候它，知道有大风雨。渔网捕获后，取脂点燃灯。用来摩擦博弈棋盘即明亮，照读书及纺织即昏暗。俗言是懒妇所化，这也不一定为真。
Cuttlefish (Uzei Yu)
Taste: Sour. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. (It is incompatible with Jilian, Fuzi, Baiji, Baijian, and Heifuzi.) It is produced in commanderies and states near the sea. Legend has it that it was transformed from the abacus bag discarded by King Qin during his eastern tour. Currently, its species reproduce, and the appearance remains similar. (There are two long whiskers on both sides of the mouth like belts; when the wind and waves become slightly urgent, it uses the whiskers to tie rocks as cables, hence also named Lan Yu [Cable Fish].) The blood and bile inside the abdomen are very black, resembling ink. Whenever it sees large fish or humans, it spits out black mixed water for self-defense. People instead recognize this as familiar, allowing them to be caught with nets. The meat is delicious to eat, benefiting Qi and strengthening willpower. It can also unblock menstrual obstruction and treat dark, dry hair. The bone is named Haipiaoxiao (Sepiae Endoconcha), an essential medicine in medical practice.
Light, crisp, and white, suitable for carving into ornaments. Select those with straight and smooth patterns on top as genuine ones. (Those with horizontal patterns on top are shark bones.) During the three dog days (Sanfu), boiling in brine must not be lacking. It should still be buried in a burned earth pit, ensuring it undergoes day and night grinding and sieving. Made into powders or pastes, it is used to save patients. It mainly treats leukorrhea (red and white discharge) in women, amenorrhea due to blood stasis, and erosion, swelling, and pain in the genital area; it treats chills and fever, mass disorders (Jia Zheng), fright qi entering the umbilicus, and circular abdominal pain in women. It removes floating nebulae (cataracts/opacities) from the eyes, contracts wound ulcers, and expels rotting tissue. Rubbing thickly with concentrated vinegar from the abdomen cures worm-induced heart pain upon immediate ingestion. If writing contracts with slightly diluted ink, they will completely disappear after a year. Locals often use such contracts to borrow money and deceive others. Merchants must not be unaware of this.
Pufferfish (Hetun Yu)
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Warm. Highly toxic. It grows in the Jianghuai region and rivers and seas, generally appearing after the Winter Solstice. It corresponds to the image of the Zhongfu Hexagram in the I Ching, thus explaining the phrase "trust extends to pigs and pufferfish." Its shape resembles a tadpole, with a short body and pointed tail. The back is black with yellow stripes, and the belly is white with eyes that can open and close. Internally, it lacks a gallbladder; externally, it lacks gills. When touching objects, it gets angry and inflates its belly like a ball. Once it floats on the water surface, it is also called Chen Yu [Angry Fish]. Although the meat taste is precious, the liver and roe are extremely toxic. Large fish and otters dare not swallow it. Upon obtaining it, one must cook it according to proper methods: (remove the liver and roe, wash the blood clean with water. Move to a clean pot, cover tightly while boiling, avoid dust contamination. It kills effectively; it is best boiled with olive wood or reed grass, do not use soot/coal smoke.) Otherwise, poisoning leads to sudden death. The proverb says, "Risk life to eat pufferfish." Those who excel in health preservation should be cautious and avoid eating it. At the first sign of poisoning, quickly chew reed rhizomes, or decoct olives in water and drink the thick soup to detoxify. It can also treat minor ailments, as recorded in the *Shennong Bencao Jing*. It regulates the waist and legs, eliminates infantile malnutrition (Gan accumulation), kills parasites, tonifies deficiency, and removes dampness and reduces swelling. The Jiangtun (river dolphin) has a similar shape, making sounds when emerging and submerging through its nostrils. Boatmen wait for it to predict major storms. After catching it with fishing nets, its fat is taken to light lamps. Used to rub game boards makes them bright; reading or spinning under its light becomes dim. Folklore says it is transformed from lazy women, which may not necessarily be true.
