Carp farming may have started in Yayoi period: fossil study
OTSU, Japan - Fossils of a young carp's teeth unearthed at the Asahi archeological site, a moat settlement site from about 400 B.C. to 400 A.D. in Aichi Prefecture. A study of the fossils indicates that people in the Yayoi period may have engaged in carp farming for winter storage, researchers say. (Photo courtesy of Shiga Prefectural Lake Biwa Museum.) (Kyodo)
