This snail belongs to the family Bucconidae of the class Gastropoda of the phylum Mollusca. It lives on the muddy bottom at depths of 50 to 300 meters in the Sea of Japan, the Sanriku coast, and the coast of Hokkaido, and is caught using bottom trawls and bai-kago (a type of cage net, also called tsubu-kago). Its shell is about 16 cm high and 7.5 cm in diameter. The surface of the shell is light brown, and the shoulders are not angular. There are numerous spiral ribs on the surface of the shell, and growth veins are obvious. The inside of the shell opening is yellowish brown, and the outer lip curves slightly outward. The operculum is leaf-shaped and leathery, and the nucleus is at the bottom. It is edible, but the poison contained in the salivary gland can cause intoxication, so this part is removed. It can be eaten raw or processed by heating. [Takashi Okutani] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
軟体動物門腹足綱エゾバイ科の巻き貝。日本海、三陸海岸、北海道沿岸の水深50~300メートルの泥底にすみ、底引網やバイ籠(かご)(籠網の一種、ツブ籠ともいう)で漁獲される。殻高16センチメートル、殻径7.5センチメートルぐらいである。殻表は淡褐色で、肩は角張ることはない。殻表には多数の螺状肋(らじょうろく)があり、成長脈は明らかである。殻口内は黄褐色で、外唇はわずかに外側に反る。蓋(ふた)は木の葉形で革質、核は下端にある。食用にされているが、唾液腺(だえきせん)に含まれる毒のため酔うことがあるので、この部分は除く。生食にも加熱加工用にもなる。 [奥谷喬司] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
