About
The big-scaled redfin (Pseudaspius hakonensis), also known as the Japanese dace and ugui (鯎 or 鵜喰), is a medium-sized Asian fish. First described by Albert Günther in 1877 as Leuciscus hakonensis, it was the type specimen of the genus Tribolodon, having been described again as Tribolodon punctatum by Henri Émile Sauvage when he established that genus in 1883. It is the most widely distributed of the Pseudaspius species, found over much of the Sea of Japan....
