Good evening, this is Koide from Freeway.
The rough seas that lasted about 3 days have finally calmed down!
The season of the beautiful ainame (fat greenling) guarding their eggs is nearing its end. The fry have grown well and are wriggling around inside the eggs, looking ready to hatch out at any moment. We hope they'll lay new eggs again!
...
Separately, the kujime (a greenling) had started laying eggs.
Kujime are relatives of the ainame and guard their eggs in much the same way.
From now on, all kinds of fish will be laying eggs, so dives will be really fascinating for observation!
The keyari (fan worms), beautiful as always.
