鳗鲡注∶陶云∶鳗鲡能上树。苏云∶鲵鱼能上树，非鳗鲡也。按∶鲵鱼一名王鲔，在山

鱼。膏燃烛不灭，秦始皇冢中用之。陶注 鱼条云∶人鱼即鲵鱼也。
（昌候鱼）味甘，性平，无毒。其腹中的子有毒，食用后会导致痢疾下泄。吃它的肉能使人身体肥壮、精力充沛。产于南海，形状像鲫鱼，身体正圆，没有硬骨，烤着吃味道极美，又名昌鼠。
（鲵鱼）无毒。主治喉痹（咽喉闭塞不通）、飞尸（一种古代病名，指突然发作、游走不定的怪病）。取它的胆汁用温水调和服用。（鲩鱼）音同“患”，外形像鲤鱼，生活在江河湖泊中，吞食后能将“飞尸”吐出。此鱼的胆汁极苦。
（鹕夷鱼/嗔鱼）有大毒。入口会使舌头腐烂，入腹会使肠道腐烂。其肉有小毒。人们也食用它，但煮的时候不能靠近锅边，应当用绳子悬挂起来煮。又名鹕夷鱼。用物体触碰它就会发怒，腹部像气球一样鼓起，所以也叫嗔鱼。腹部白色，背部有一条红色的环带，像印鱼的眼睛可以闭合，与其他鱼不同。江海中都产这种鱼，海中的毒性最大，江中的毒性稍次。如果有人想收集它的肝和子来毒害他人，反而会被它咬伤，因此人们都不记载这些用法。只有橄榄木和鱼茗木能解此毒，其次可用芦根、乌头草根的汁液解毒。这种毒疾，普通药物无法治愈。橄榄、鱼茗已在木部条目中列出。
（虎头鱼/类似物）有毒。背上的刺扎到人身上，感觉像被蛇咬一样。皮上有刺，头形像老虎。产于南海，也有传说说它会变成老虎。
（鳅鱼等）音同“拱”。鲲子、鳅鱼（鳅同音）、鼠尾鱼、地青鱼、 鱼（普胡反音毗）、邵阳鱼。其中尾部有刺刺伤人的毒性很大。被三根刺扎中会死亡，被两根刺扎中会困顿虚弱，被一根刺扎中可以救治。在有人小便的地方钉住它，会导致人阴部肿痛。拔除尾巴中的刺时，遇到障碍物要用尾巴拨开。吃它的肉时要去除刺。关于 鱼，已在《神农本草经》鳝鱼注中记载。
鳗鲡注：陶弘景说：鳗鲡能上树。苏恭说：鲵鱼能上树，不是鳗鲡。考证认为：鲵鱼又名王鲔，在山溪中能上树，天旱时含水上山，用树叶覆盖身体，鸟儿来喝水时，趁机捕捉它们。伊芳地区称它为鲵鱼。又名 鱼，又名人鱼。它的膏脂点燃做烛火不灭，秦始皇陵墓中曾使用过。陶弘景在 鱼条目的注中说：人鱼就是鲵鱼。
(Changhou Fish) The flavor is sweet, the nature is neutral, and it is non-toxic. The roe inside its abdomen is toxic; consuming it causes dysentery with diarrhea. Eating its flesh makes one robust, strong, and boosts energy. It is produced in the South Sea, resembling a crucian carp, with a perfectly round body and no hard bones. It is extremely delicious when roasted. It is also known as Changshu (Rat).
(Ni Fish / Giant Salamander) It is non-toxic. It primarily treats throat obstruction (Hou Bi) and Feishi (a traditional disease concept referring to sudden, wandering ailments). Take its gallbladder, mix it with warm water, and ingest it. (Huan Fish) Pronounced "Huan," it resembles a carp and lives in rivers and lakes; after ingestion, it can expel Feishi. Its gallbladder is extremely bitter.
(Huyi Fish / Chen Fish) It has high toxicity. Upon entering the mouth, it causes tongue necrosis; upon entering the abdomen, it causes intestinal necrosis. Its flesh has slight toxicity. People also consume it, but when boiling, it must not be placed near the cauldron directly; instead, it should be suspended by an object for cooking. It is also named Huyi Fish. When touched by an object, it becomes angry and inflates its abdomen like a balloon, hence also called Chen Fish (Angry Fish). Its belly is white, and there is a red equatorial band on its back resembling the eyes of Yin Fish that can close, differing from other fish. It exists in both rivers and seas; those in the sea are highly toxic, while those in rivers are moderately toxic. If people attempt to collect its liver and roe to poison others, they risk being bitten themselves; therefore, these methods are generally not recorded. Only Olive Wood (Ganlan Mu) and Yuming Wood (Yuming Mu) can detoxify it; secondarily, Reed Root (Lugen) or Aconite Grass Root juice can be used. This type of toxin is beyond the reach of ordinary medicines. Olive and Yuming have already been listed in the Woody Plants section.
(Tiger-headed Fish-like Species) It is toxic. Its dorsal spines sting like snake bites. Its skin is covered with spines, and its head resembles a tiger's. It is produced in the South Sea, and there are legends that it can transform into a tiger.
(Qiu Fish etc.) Pronounced "Gong." Kunzi, Qiu Fish (Qiu sounds the same), Shuwei Fish, Diqing Fish, Pi Fish (Pi pronounced as 'Pu Hu Fan'), Shaoyang Fish. Among these, those with spines on their tails that cause injury are highly toxic. Being pierced by three spines leads to death; two spines cause debilitation; one spine can be treated and saved. If nailed where people urinate, it causes swelling and pain in the genitals. When removing the spine from the tail, use the tail to push away obstacles. Eat the flesh after removing the spines. Regarding Pi Fish, it has already been annotated in the Eel entry of *Shennong Bencao Jing*.
Annotation on Manti (Eel): Tao Hongjing stated: Manti can climb trees. Su Gong stated: Ni Fish can climb trees, not Manti. Examination shows: Ni Fish, also known as Wangwei, can climb trees in mountain streams. During droughts, it carries water in its mouth up the mountain, covers itself with leaves, and captures birds that come to drink. In the Yifang region, it is called Ni Fish. It is also named Pi Fish and Renyu (Human Fish). Its fat burns as a candle without extinguishing and was used in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Tao Hongjing's annotation on the Pi Fish entry states: Renyu is indeed Ni Fish.
