Kamakichi Kishinouye

Kamakichi Kishinouye is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kamakichi Kishinouye rather than just read about it. In short: Kamakichi Kishinouye (岸上鎌吉, Kishinoue Kamakichi; 29 November 1867 – 22 November 1929) was a Japanese fisheries biologist and cnidariologist and a professor of the Imperial University of Tokyo (Faculty of Agriculture) between 1908 and 1928. Kishinouye died in Chengdu of a sudden illness while on a collecting expedition to China.

Key takeaways

Kamakichi Kishinouye belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kamakichi Kishinouye to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kamakichi Kishinouye from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kamakichi Kishinouye (岸上鎌吉, Kishinoue Kamakichi; 29 November 1867 – 22 November 1929) was a Japanese fisheries biologist and cnidariologist and a professor of the Imperial University of Tokyo (Faculty of Agriculture) between 1908 and 1928. Kishinouye died in Chengdu of a sudden illness while on a collecting expedition to China. Kishinouye recommended Kumataro Ito to Hugh M. Smith as an artist on board the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries Steamer U.S.S. Albatross during the Philippine Expedition from 1907 to 1910.

Tributes He gave his name to the jellyfish genus Kishinouyea Mayer, 1910, with a preoccupied name. Kishinouyea has been also used by Yoshio Ôuchi to describe a praying mantis genus that he quickly renamed Kishinouyeum in 1938, and that could be a junior synonym for Phyllothelys. Kishinoella (with species Kishinoella rara (Kishinouye, 1915) and Kishinoella tonggol (Bleeker, 1851)) is a synonym genus name to describe Thunnus tonggol (Bleeker, 1851) (accepted name). The epithet kishinouyei is used to refer to Kamakichi Kishinouye in species names. The American ichthyologist John Otterbein Snyder honoured him in the name of the gurnard Lepidotrigla kishinouyi, although he left the e out for phonetic reasons.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kamakichi Kishinouye

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kamakichi Kishinouye claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kamakichi Kishinouye before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kamakichi Kishinouye ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kamakichi Kishinouye

In research: Kamakichi Kishinouye appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kamakichi Kishinouye in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kamakichi Kishinouye is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1867 births, 1929 deaths, 19th-century zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kamakichi Kishinouye outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
