足摺岬:海の恵み


足摺岬と土佐清水地方の漁業は、暖流黒潮の恩恵を大きく受けています。黒潮と沖合の海中の特異な地形の相乗効果が魚種の多様性に理想的な条件を作り上げており、この辺りの海には黒潮の大きな流れに乗ってやってくるクロマグロやカツオから回遊しないメバルまで多種多様な魚がいます。このような豊かさによって地元の漁師たちは生計を立てることができ、土佐清水は海産物でその名をとどろかせているのでしょう。

Cape Ashizuri: Bounty of the Sea


Fishing in the Cape Ashizuri and Tosashimizu regions benefits greatly from the warm Kuroshio Current. The Kuroshio’s interplay with the distinctive underwater topography just off the coast creates ideal conditions for a wide variety of fish species, from bluefin and skipjack tuna traveling on the great current to non-migratory rockfish. This abundance provides a livelihood for local fishermen and is what made Tosashimizu famous for its seafood.
