About this book

Language: Japanese

Along with tuna, squid, every year account for the second or third place of most consumed seafood in Japan. On the other hand, the squid is difficult to breed in the aquarium, and many questions surrounding the egg masses and larvae in the sea have yet to be elucidated.

Landings of squid has been main seafood source from the side of the Sea of ​​Japan side, but major changes have occurred in recent years. Fishing in northeast and eastern Hokkaido became popular, including "authentic" Hakodate fishing patterns. In addition, following observations on giant squid in recent years, the news that "squid can fly in the sky" has attracted a lot of attention.

This author of this book has studied squid ecology for 30 years, and is the chairman of the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage Site Scientific Committee. He has also repeatedly studied the marine environment around the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. In addition, he is at the forefront of squid research at the Faculty of Fisheries at Hokkaido University, where he elucidated in detail the behavior of flying squid for the first time in the world

In this book, in addition to topics of basic ecology, the latest achievements of breeding experiments in large water tanks are described.

Summary in Japanese:
イカは、マグロと並んで毎年、全国の水産物消費量の2位か3位を占めています(トップはサケ)。スルメイカの漁獲量はイカ全体の8割を占め、日本人にもっとも馴染みのあるイカです。その一方、水槽での飼育が難しく、海中での卵塊や幼生の実態も解明されておらず、謎の多い生き物でもあります。

日本海側の主要な水産物だったスルメイカの水揚げに、近年大きな変化が起きています。東北や北海道東部での漁が盛んになり、「本場」函館の漁模様に年による変動が目立ってきました。また、近年のダイオウイカブームに続き、昨年、「イカが空を飛ぶ」というニュースが大きな話題を集めました。

本書の著者、桜井泰憲さんは、30年にわたりイカの生態を研究しつづけるとともに、知床世界自然遺産地域科学委員会の委員長を務めるなど、オホーツク海を中心にした海洋環境についても研究を重ねてきました。また北海道大学水産学部は同氏のもと、イカ研究の最先端を走り、空飛ぶイカの行動も世界で初めて詳しく解明しました。

本書では、基本的な生態のほか、著者の長年の夢を実現した大型水槽での飼育実験の最新成果、漁火に集まる行動の詳しい分析、著者が開発した鮮度保持の秘密兵器「イカ活チャ器」の効果、100年後のイカ漁の予測まで、興味深い話題を豊富に収めています。
