Todome 止め - "To take the last breath of, the finishing blow" This Japanese word refers to the humane dispatching of a fish, often using a steel spike or final blow to the head.

This fish was caught with a bamboo spear in the Sea of Japan. It was then painted and printed on rice paper in the traditional Gyotaku style. After printing, the fish fed many hungry mouths in the local community.
