| Abstract: | The use of an ichthyotoxic legume in the genus Denis (Fabaceae) in Guadalcanal is reported. Contrasted with other traditional methods of fishing, fish poisoning with plants is a safe activity that results in small but consistent yields. Ethnotaxonomic terms for ichthyotoxic legumes and fruits in Melanesia and Polynesia are compared and discussed. |
