Subspecies[edit]

There are two forms of ayu - amphidromous and land-locked.

Is land-locked form of ayu treat as a separate subspecies? --Kerry7374 01:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Method of cooking ayu in Japan[edit]

I have seen people in Japan skewer live fish by placing a sharpened stick into the fish's mouth, and then roast them alive. I have seen this in person and on TV, but this was edited out of my contribution because the person who did the edit said this is uncommon. Is this common or uncommon?114.161.229.100 (talk) 07:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth is that image at right?[edit]

So, this article includes an image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plecoglossus_altivelis_altivelis_hami-ato1.jpg) with the caption "The trace that ate bait". There is presently no coherent explanation of the image. What the hell is it? Why is it in this article? The image should be either explained or removed. 70.209.83.36 (talk) 00:13, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I just came in here to find out what the hell that was.The Japanese explanation just says "Signs that the bait was eaten." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.120.154.69 (talk) 21:26, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the caption. [1]―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 22:41, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Why was the article title changed? I have never elsewhere heard this species called “ayu sweetfish”; only either “ayu” or “sweetfish”. Birdsage3 (talk) 19:38, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
