A general term for plants used in poison fishing in the upper reaches of the Amazon River in Peru, Bolivia, and other areas. Poison fishing itself is widely practiced in the tropical lowlands of South America, and the ingredients are diverse. The plants called barbasco are mainly Seriania perulacea of the Sapindaceae family and Tephrosia toxicaria of the legume family. The roots of these plants are pounded, the exposed fibers are thoroughly rubbed in river water to wash away the poison, and the resulting alkaloid poison paralyzes the fish, causing them to be caught, which is called "barbasco fishing."

ペルーやボリビアなどのアマゾン川上流地域で,毒流し漁の材料となる植物の総称。毒流し漁そのものは,南アメリカの熱帯低地で広く行われ,その材料もさまざまである。バルバスコと呼ばれるものは主としてムクロジ科のSeriania perulaceaとマメ科のTephrosia toxicariaである。これらの根をたたきつぶし,露出させた繊維を川の水の中で,よくもんで毒分を洗い流し,そのアルカロイド性の毒液で魚の行動を麻痺させて捕る漁法が〈バルバスコ漁〉である。
