Mongo squid (Mongo squid) - Mongo squid

Japanese: モンゴウイカ(紋甲烏賊) - モンゴウイカ
Mongo squid (Mongo squid) - Mongo squid
Originally, it was the market name for the thunder squid. It was so named because, while most other cuttlefish species have striped dorsal patterns, the thunder squid has an eye-like pattern. However, the name "Mongo squid" is now used for all large species, such as the European cuttlefish Sepia officinalis , caught by deep-sea trawls off the west coast of Africa, and the Tropical cuttlefish S. pharaonis , caught in the Gulf of Aden, and there is no uniformity in the name. Thunder squid [Takashi Okutani]

もともとはカミナリイカの市場名。他の多くのコウイカ類の背側の斑紋は縞模様なのに,カミナリイカは眼状紋(目玉模様)をもつところからこう呼ばれた。しかし,現在はアフリカ西岸から遠洋トロールでとられるヨーロッパコウイカSepia officinalisや,アデン湾のトラフコウイカS.pharaonisなど大型種にすべてモンゴウイカの名が流用され,実体は不統一である。カミナリイカ【奥谷 喬司】
