| Summary: | is a small river system called the Sarufutsu that holds great significance to both of us. For Michio, it started with a fishing expedition in the 1980s, when he captured a very unusual fish. For Pete, it started in the spring of 2006, when he traveled to the river for the first time, and got his first glimpse of a large, brightly colored fish in the headwaters. Over the years we’ve gotten to know each other better, and, through our collaboration, we’ve gotten to know these unique fish better, too. The fish, Parahucho perryi, is known by a variety of common names, including Sakhalin taimen, itou (pronounced “ee-toe”), sea-run taimen, and Japanese huchen. In the indigenous Ainu language, it is called chirai. Its species name comes from the U.S. naval officer |
