There are many Kanji that contain Sakana-hen (魚fish)and very difficult to read.
Kanji related to Sakana (fish) are many and quite manic such as 鯑 (herring roe) and 鰌 (loach) .
I took this opportunity to go through them again. How many did you know?
鯑 (Kazunoko – herring roe)
魚+希 is herring roe. It used to be rare product so maybe it use Kanji which means 希rare? Or Perhaps herring roe has hope! (‘希’望 kibou means hope)
鯰 (Namazu – catfish)
Catfish can concern for something? Is it like fish with ESPer (extrasensory perception)? Perhaps it has lantern sticking to it?
鰑 (Surume – cuttlefish)
Even Kanji contains 魚(fish) and 易(easy), it is hard to eat.
鮪 (Maguro – tuna)
魚(fish) and 有(yes, there is) There is tuna! There tuna! I am glad when there is tuna !
魛(Tachiuo – cutlass fish)
It looks like the name came from sword (刀-tachi)
魹(Todo – Northern sea lion)
魚 (fish) + 毛 (hair) . I think sea lion has a hair.
鯲 (Dojyou – loach)
魚 (fish) + 於 (in regard to) In regard to fish, it’s loach.
鰐 (Wani – crocodile)
It has an image of jaw (顎)
鮑 (Awabi – abalone)
魚 (fish) +包 (wrapped). Bubble, bubble, (泡)bubble …?
鰯 (Iwashi – sardine)
魚 (fish) + 弱 (weak). Sardine is weak! Sardine is weak! Weak one is Sardine! Bullying the weak one is not good!
