「今日ね、久しぶりに海藻を食べてみたんだけど、美味しかった」「日本ではよく食卓にあがるんだけど、アメリカではあまりあがらないの？」「普通の家ではよく出てるみたいだよ。でも、僕んちではあまり出てこないよ」の英語

"I tried some seaweed today after not eating any for a while, and it was delicious." "In Japan, it's often part of a meal. Is that less common in the U.S.?" "I think it's common in most families, but not really in mine."

The results showed that although the area has only 0.9 percent of the total volume of sea water, it is home to 33,629 marine species.

Recipients of the therapy do light exercises in warm seawater and may have seaweed paste put on their bodies to improve blood circulation.

But he went on to say, "The marine life has now become more abundant than ever before. This is largely due to the river flowing into the sea and the bountiful forests upstream."

National Federation of Fisheries Co-operative Associations gave out tapes of the song to supermarkets nationwide because they wanted seafood to become more popular.

The sea ice is highly variable - frozen solid during cold, calm weather and broken up in large areas of open water during storms.

He said, "We'll use various measures in this area to expand Japan's future as a maritime nation."

A joint team of researchers at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and several universities has discovered that Japan has about one seventh of all the marine species on earth.

Hey, is this fish tasty for real? It looks like a fish that was a black porgy who'd fallen in with mobsters and been put on the countries most wanted list!?

An auctioneer said, "It's hot and uncomfortable sometimes, but our first priority must be to keep the seafood in our freezers cold."

A fisherman found a green turtle entangled in a rope off the coast of Shima, Mie Prefecture, and took it to an aquarium in July.

The subject of fighting piracy will be discussed in the Japan-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Commemorative Summit to be held in Tokyo next month.

Although he knew perfectly well that the ocean was dangerous in winter, the fisherman put out to sea in his old fishing boat.

If the average temperature rises 1.4 to 5.8 degrees in the next 100 years, sea level will rise 10 to 90 centimeters, and seawater will flow over the seawalls in those areas.

A research team led by Hamada Naoko, a research assistant at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, has developed a new way to test the freshness of fish.

In July 2011, while aboard a fishing training ship 600 kilometers east of Tokyo, Muramatsu Kota, a student at Hokkaido University's Graduate School of Fisheries Sciences, and other researchers saw a shoal of about 100 squid flying over the sea.

It is made from two old sabani (the traditional small wooden fishing boats of Okinawa) and is named the Uminchu-maru.

The sea ice is highly variable - frozen solid during cold, calm weather and broken up in large areas of open water during storms.

This time of year, tideland and rocky shores are filled with people collecting clams and other seafood, especially on weekends.

On Sept. 7, a Chinese boat was fishing in Japanese territorial waters, near the Senkaku Islands, Okinawa Prefecture.

For example, the noise from windmills, the change in natural scenery, and the influence on the marine environment worry fishermen and people living in neighboring areas.

The seabed in that area is 130 million years old, but the volcanic rocks there have been estimated to be around only 50,000 to one million years old.

As part of such efforts, fish caught in the seas around Tokyo's Hachijo Island have been served for lunch at elementary and junior high schools in Tokyo's urban areas.

Among the approximately 1,200 ports in Japan with fishing spots and parks, some places are not fully managed because of the municipalities' financial difficulties.

A team of about 50 researchers reviewed scientific literature from 1953 to the present and made a database of marine species living in Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

In areas like Amami Oshima, Yakushima, and the Tokara Islands, the sun will be completely hidden behind the moon and create a total eclipse.

Fish are sold by auction, so it is difficult for fishermen to pass the increase in fuel costs on to buyers.
