Ikan Terbang
Ikan yang menjadi maskot salah satu tv swasta di negara kita ini dapat melompat keluar dari laut dan "terbang" sejauh 50 meter. Rekor meluncur yang dipegang oleh ikan terbang adalah sejauh 1300 meter, dengan kecepatan 70 km per jam. Ikan ini "terbang" menggunakan sirip dada berukuran besar untuk meluncur di atas air ketika terancam oleh pemangsa. Penerbangan dimulai dengan mengibaskan ekor mereka 70 kali per detik. Kibasan ekor ini digunakan untuk menekan air untuk memungkinkan mereka meluncur di udara. -

Also known as the Japanese Common Squid, the Japanese Flying Squid is part of the Ommastrephidae family. It lives in the northern Pacific Ocean around Japan, and up to the coast of China, Russia, and across the Bering Straight towards lower Alaska and Canada. Clusters of the Japanese Flying Squid are also found in the central region of Vietnam. The Japanese Flying Squid can live in cold temperature, from 5° to 27°C.
The Japanese Flying SquidAdult squids have a few distinguishing features. They have a mantle which encloses the visceral mass. They also have 2 fins, a siphon used for jet propulsion, and 8 arms and 2 tentacles that have suction cups on the back. In between their arms is a mouth, commonly called a beak. Inside this mouth is a tooth-tongue item called a radula. They also have ink sacs, which are used as a defense mechanism. They also have 3 arts.
They tend to live in the upper layers of the ocean, but are only short lived as they live for only 1 year. Within this year of life, the Japanese Flying Squid matures from larvae form. They then fed, grow, migrate, and then at the end of their lives, they congregate in mating grounds where they reproduce. When they reproduce, they die.
Three sub-populations of Japanese Flying Squid have been found off Japanese waters. The main group spawns in the East China Sea, the second group spawns in autumn in western Kyushu, and the third but minor group spawns in the spring or summer in the Sea of Japan and north-eastern Japan.
When they migrate, they move north and then south as they follow the currents. These squids travel in large schools. When reproducing, males mature first and they transfer their spermatophores to the immature females. Continuing their southern migration, females then mature and span 300 – 4,000 eggs. The squids all migrate together and lay their eggs in the same place that they were born in. the eggs will then hatch into larvae in 5 days, although this depends on the temperature of the water.
The main fishery players of the Japanese Flying Squid is mostly Japan. This is followed by the Republic of Korea, and then China. The production and consumption of this squid is the highest in Japan. This squid is also exported to other countries for human consumption. The USA is the top importer of this squid, while Japan is the largest consumer and exporter. This squid is used to make seafood-related dishes, such as sushi.
The Japanese Flying Squid is used to make sushiThe fishing season is all year around. However, the most popular seasons are from January to March, and then June to September as this is when the largest catch of Japanese flying squid can be caught. They are caught with hook and line, lift nets, and gill nets. The most popular fishing method is hook and line, which is used in jigging.

Goggle-eyed goby　Bolephthalmus pectinirostoris 
I think the goggle-eyed goby, the type that is best known as a creature of flats. It is famous around the "goggle-eyed goby" when saying creature walking on the mud in the Ariake Sea. However, people who do not know that this is a fish also are many. Goggle-eyed goby has been used as food not only in Japan but also in China and Taiwan. However, very difficult is to aquaculture, it seems to be trial and error in various ways today.
Goggle-eyed goby is eating hard food on the mud. It is characteristic of fellow mud skipper, to be in the top of the head is eyeball, figure Crawling doing the arm skin, the pectoral fin to the Nururi.
The place different from the Mudskipper, is where you are getting a figure to be in the near the bottom of the face mouth, rub the mud.This is because it is the herbivorous and eat smelt across the algae of mud on the goggle-eyed goby. I'm eating hard feed all the while tide pulls.
King of the flats, goggle-eyed goby. Bright spots of cobalt blue in the body, dorsal fin that has spread widely.
To spread the back fin, it is because it is shown that the place you are eating food is his territory.The male seems to be to show the female that he is fine especially.
Goggle-eyed goby are wandering when small, but it is to have a nest of one to one animal it to grow. I have a territory around its nest. I will eat the diatom mud on its territory.Footprint is still trapped in the center of the nest hole.
Fish of 10 cm or more in length is to jump it is spectacular. To this daring jump just press. When the breeding season, it is one of the courtship behavior of the order to appeal the size of their own, the sportiness to the female, invites female. I jump very cool, but you do not think that you get off a lot, and fell like a sack of potatoes and Bote~tsu ^ ^;
You can see this jump in June-August roughly in Kyushu.Copyright (C) Mudskipper World , All Rights Reserved.

Japanese Flying Squid's Abilities Confirmed, Speed Measured By Scientists
There have been numerous sightings of a certain type of Japanese squid "flying" above the ocean's surface, and now scientists have offered an explanation.
How does the Japanese flying squid catch air? It releases a high-pressured water jetfor propulsion, and then spreads its fins like wings to glide above the water, according to a new study from marine biologists at Hokkaido University.
What's more, the squid can speed through the air at over 11 meters per second. That's faster than Usain Bolt, who averaged only 10.3 meters per second in the 2012 London Olympics.
"There were always witnesses and rumors that said squid were seen flying, but no one had clarified how they actually do it," biologist Jun Yamamoto of Hokkaido University told AFP. "We have proved that it really is true."
Image taken by Kouta Muramatsu of Hokkaido University on July 25, 2011 shows the oceanic squid flying in the air in the northwest Pacific Ocean.The researchers tracked about 100 squid in the northwest Pacific Ocean in July 2011, and there they observed the creatures launching into the air. When flying, the squid can remain airborne for about three seconds and travel upwards of about 30 meters, Yamamoto told AFP.
He added that as the squid are vulnerable when flying, it's possible they may be a source of food for sea birds or other predators.

The basics
The non-kite version. Image Credit: Almandine.
Japanese flying squid (also known by the less flamboyant moniker Japanese common squid) are found in northern portions of the Pacific Ocean near Korea, Japan, coastal China, Russia, and across the Bering Strait toward parts of Alaska and Canada.
Females can grow up to 50cm (males are smaller), and both sexes manifest your typical squidy morphology – a long mantle with two fins at the front, eyes, mouth and eight arms plus two tentacles at the rear, and skin that can change color to match the environment. They’re fast little guys, which is useful since they’re predators, dining on fish and crustaceans. Lifespan is similarly speedy, estimated at only about a year.
The flying
Neither its fins nor its arms are the Japanese flying squid’s primary tools for travel. Instead they race through the water via jet propulsion (mantle first during sustained swimming, with limbs dangling behind them). This is done by taking water into the mantle and then forcefully expelling it through a siphon. Whoosh! Other squid (and octopi) also propel themselves in this soaring manner, Todarodes pacificus just happened to get the cool name.
In addition to zipping around in the water, squid sometimes also use their propulsion system to (briefly) glide through the air. It’s not a common sight, and so it was generally believed that this behavior was used to avoid predators, just like so-called flying fish would do. But some researchers now think that leaping into the air actually allows squid to boost their travel efficiency. Using rapid-succession photos of squid breaching the water’s surface, they estimated the animals’ velocity to be five times faster when moving through air. If done with some regularity, this quasi flight could reduce the amount of energy needed for long journeys.
The Japanese flying squid was not the species caught on film and measured, but if they aren’t already partaking of this aerial transportation, they should really consider, it as they undertake a lengthy 2000km migration during their short lives.
The mating
Squid mating is a strangely sequential affair, more of a nice-doing-business-with-you transaction than a cuddly coupling. Males mature first and pass off their sperm to sexually immature females, who store the genetic material and eventually use it to fertilize their eggs. The sperm are housed in spermatophores, structures containing a sperm mass, a spring-like ejaculatory apparatus and a “cement body” (some glue to help the sperm mass adhere to the female).
When Japanese flying squid hook up, the male clutches the female and uses his “hectocotylus” (the fourth right arm, designed for this sort of hand off) to grab some spermatophores and stick them onto the lucky lady. It’s the ejaculation device contained in the spermatophores – not the live male squid – that ultimately sends the sperm mass burrowing through the female’s skin. It’s not a powerful enough mechanism to penetrate the thick skin of, say, a human hand. The delicate mucosa inside the human mouth, however, is no problem.
The unfortunate incident
Warning: may contain sperm. Image Credit: Chrissy Olson.
The Japanese flying squid isn’t unique in either its locomotion or its sperm delivery system. What sets it apart from other squid is its popularity as food, especially in Japan, Korea and other East Asian nations. Often it is sold in a processed, dried form (i.e., no insemination risk), but it is increasingly also consumed raw and sometimes with its internal organs still intact, and thus the species occasionally finds its way into food horror headlines.
According to a case report published in the Journal of Parasitology, here’s how this latest episode of cephalopod sexual assault went down. A 63-year-old woman in Seoul, Korea is preparing a meal. She drops a whole live squid into boiling water for a few seconds (for any inexperienced cooks, “parboiling” is simply partial boiling) then removes it and chops it into pieces. She pops a piece into her mouth to see how it tastes and immediately experiences sharp pains her tongue, gums, etc. Naturally, she spits out the offending food item but continues to feel what she perceives as “bugs” squirming under the skin of her mouth. She packs up the spat out piece of squid and heads for the hospital, where doctors remove twelve “small, spindle-shaped white organisms” from her oral mucosa that are later determined to be squid spermatophores.
Probably safe by now. Image Credit: kvanhorn.
This is the first reported instance of accidental culinary insemination involving a partially cooked squid. In all other cases, unsuspecting diners bit into fully raw squid. But even the raw squid incidents were few and far between. Most squid – raw or cooked – is served sans internal organs and is thus unlikely to contain spermatophores. And calamari’s biggest threat to health is probably the whole breading and frying thing.
In certain media versions of this story, the term “inseminate” morphed into “impregnate”, which is something quite different. I’m tempted to cut writers some slack, as it’s easy to get swept up in the fun of squid sex jokes (see much of above article) but since I don’t want to contribute to any societal confusion about where babies come from, I’m going to have to draw the line here. You can’t get pregnant from eating raw squid. You can, however, contract parasites* or – though it’s less common – a painful bout of spermatophore mouth. Like they keep warning us on the sushi menu, eating raw or undercooked seafood carries certain risks.

- Shirosabafugu is blowfish ... non-toxic. We have studied the dismantlement of puffer fish (laughs). Taste may be slightly inferior compared to the tiger puffer, but I can enjoy the blowfish in a handy price. Sashimi is soft and smooth. Pan information is optional. Kurosabafugu is also non-toxic, but it is to watch both's similar to Dokusabafugu.

is blowfish to see well in the market. Actually I do not know if this is is called Nante in Oita.
It is Sabafugu is, and called "more silver beech" If you look at a rather old some materials. Standard Japanese name of Sabafugu at present does not seem to be used. "Sabafugu The picture book of old Lagocephalus luinaris making it ". But, now L. luinaris standard Japanese name of Dokusabafugu to have been commonly used. It might have been called "Sabafugu" collectively Sabafugu genus of more than one a long time ago probably.
... Does that mean I think that it is not wrong to think the name is called in Oita is "more hump silver" probably.Because silver is outstanding and really see. There is a similar type to the other to Sabafugu genus, (top to bottom) is white rear end of the caudal fin feature.
Now I eat better, but it is not related blowfish much about the poison, but the taste is as good enough.Can See it in this Fish Market. I Guess That It is called "Ginbuku".
