A marine fish belonging to the order Perciformes and family Rockfish. It is found in various parts of Japan south of Hokkaido, southern Sakhalin, the southern Kuril Islands, the Korean Peninsula, and China. It is distinguished from other rockfish by the presence of two or three sharp spines on the lower edge of the lacrimal bone (the bone in front of the eye), two black stripes running diagonally backward from the eye, and the white upper and lower rear edges of the tail fin. It is an ovoviviparous fish that gives birth to larvae about 5 to 10 millimeters in length in May and June. It lives on breakwaters and seaweed beds near the shore up to about 20 centimeters in length, but as it grows, it moves to rocky areas 50 to 100 meters deep. It reaches a length of about 60 centimeters. It is often found in waters shallower than 100 meters, and is caught by gill nets, fishing, and fixed nets. It is artificially bred and released. Farmed fish are shipped as live fish. The meat is white and delicious when eaten raw, grilled with salt, or simmered. It is the most expensive of all the soybean species.

硬骨魚綱スズキ目メバル科に属する海水魚。北海道以南の日本各地、樺太(からふと)(サハリン)南部、千島列島南部、朝鮮半島、中国などに分布する。涙骨(るいこつ)(目の前下方にある骨)の下縁に2、3本の鋭い棘(とげ)があること、目から斜め後方へ2本の黒色帯が走ること、尾びれの後縁の上下は白いことなどの特徴で、ほかのソイ類と区別される。5、6月にかけて全長5~10ミリメートルぐらいの仔魚(しぎょ)を産む卵胎生魚。全長20センチメートルぐらいまでは防波堤や、岸近くの藻場にすむが、成長とともに水深50~100メートルの岩礁域に移る。全長60センチメートルぐらいになる。水深100メートル以浅に多く、刺網、釣り、定置網で漁獲される。人工種苗されて放流されている。養殖されたものは活魚として出荷される。肉は白身で、刺身、塩焼き、煮つけなどにすると美味。ソイ類のなかではもっとも高価である。 [尼岡邦夫] 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 |
