Squid cage fishing - Squid cage fishing

Japanese: いかかご漁業 - いかかごぎょぎょう

...These fishing methods are mainly applied to ocean-dwelling squids such as Japanese flying squid, Japanese red flying squid, and flying squid. Fixed nets and trout nets laid along the coast are used for spear squid and swordtip squid that come close to the coast, and various bottom trawl nets are effective for cuttlefish that live near the seabed. In the past, large-scale deep-sea trawls were used to catch large quantities of European cuttlefish (marketed as Mongo squid). Special fishing methods include the "squid fishing" method, in which a bundle of branches is placed in the sea to catch the squid that come to spawn, and the "squid cage fishing" method, in which female squid are used as bait. [Takashi Okutani]
[cooking]
Squid has been seen among the tributes from various provinces since the Nara period, and it is likely that this was dried fish.

From [Fishing Gear]

...the tools used to catch aquatic animals and plants. The method of fishing is called a fishing method, but a fishing method can also be said to be the way of using fishing gear. The most appropriate method for catching aquatic animals and plants is chosen according to the ecology, habits, and behavior of the target organisms, and fishing gear and fishing methods are closely related.
[Classification]
Because fishing involves humans, who are land creatures, catching plants and animals that live in the water, ultimately the fish and shellfish must be separated from the water. Therefore, it is necessary to either directly hold the organisms in some way (hooking, poking, pinching, etc.) and lift them out of the water, or to separate the organisms from the water by straining them.

Japanese:

…これらの漁法はもっぱらスルメイカ，アカイカ，トビイカなどの外洋性イカ類に適用され，沿岸に寄るヤリイカ，ケンサキイカ類は沿岸に敷設した定置網やます網で，海底付近にすむコウイカ類には種々の底引網が有効で，かつてはヨーロッパコウイカ(市場名モンゴウイカ)などは日本の大型の遠洋トロールによって多量に漁獲されていた。特殊な漁法に枝の束(そだ)を海中につけ産卵にくるのを釣る〈いかしば漁業〉とか，雌をおとりに使う〈いかかご漁業〉などもある。【奥谷喬司】

【漁具】より

…漁獲，すなわち水産動植物を採捕するのに用いられる道具。漁獲の方法を漁法というが，漁法は漁具の運用方法ということもできる。水産動植物の採捕は対象生物の生態･習性･行動などに応じて，最も適当な方法をとるわけで，漁具と漁法は密接に関連して選ばれる。
【分類】
　漁獲は水中に生活する動植物を陸上生物である人間が採捕するのであるから，水から魚介類を分けることが最終的には必ず行われる。したがって，生物体を直接，なんらかの方法(引っ掛ける，突く，挟むなど)で保持して水から揚げるか，水と生物をこし分けるかのどちらかが必要になる。…
