Hello, this is Koide from Freeway.
We've had lots of snow in Sado too.
We crunched through the snow to enter the sea.
Today we split into a daytime diving team and a night diving team
for our dives.
I was in charge of guiding the daytime team.
We observed ainame (fat greenling) eggs, kouika (golden cuttlefish) courting, nudibranchs and more.
The ainame eggs are steadily increasing, too!
↓ Ainame guarding their eggs
↓ A kouika pair (we've also been seeing the male courting)
↓ Nudibranchs (we searched quite a bit: about 8 species?)
① Hiroumiushi
② Kiiroumiushi
③ Otomeumiushi
④ Kuromidorigai
⑤ Aoumiushi
⑥ Shiroumiushi
⑦ Jibogaumiushi
⑧ Houzukifushieragai
Those were the ones we saw.
Nudibranchs increase explosively from around March.
I can't wait for nudibranch season to arrive.
