魚類學相關名詞中英對照
名詞 定義　
scale counts Some fish have relatively large and firmly attached scales, which make counting very easy. Others have very small scales which may be covered with mucous, or have scales that are easily shed. It is often helpful to dry the area to be counted by blowing air over it. In some cases it may be necessary to lift the posterior edge of each scale individually with a fine needle to assure an accurate count. A dissecting microscope or other magnification is often necessary for accurate counts. See lateral line, longitudinal scale series, transverse rows, circumference, caudal peduncle, cheek, predorsal, etc.　
鱗片計數 有些魚類具有相當大而堅固的鱗片附著，使得計算非常容易。有些魚類則有非常小的鱗片，鱗片上可能覆蓋黏液或是容易脫落。在計算鱗片前將該區域以吹氣方式乾燥經常是很有幫助的。在某些狀況下，則必須藉由一根細針個別地挑起每個鱗片的後緣才能保證計數正確。若要正確的計數，解剖顯微鏡或其他放大工具時常也是必需的。見 lateral line、longitudinal scale series、transverse rows、circumference、caudal peduncle、cheek、predorsal 等。
