スルメイカ

<em>Todarodes pacificus</em> is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Ommastrephidae, order Oegopsida, commonly known as the Japanese flying squid or common flying squid. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. <em>Todarodes pacificus</em> is native to Asian waters, with documented occurrences including Taiwan, and is widely distributed across the northwestern Pacific Ocean. This species is one of the most commercially important squid species in the world, supporting major fisheries in Japan, China, and South Korea. It typically inhabits open ocean environments from the surface to mesopelagic depths, undertaking extensive diel vertical migrations. The common name refers to the ability of this species to leap from the water and briefly glide through the air, propelled by jets of water and using its fins and outstretched tentacles for lift — a behavior observed in several ommastrephid squids. Populations exhibit distinct migratory patterns linked to oceanographic conditions and spawning cycles. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ（Orcinus orca）は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。
