Hello!
How are you? Today we'll begin our view of aquaculture with one of the most basic things we find in our oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers - the fish for sushi!
Activity
Look at the picture above - then look at the same picture below. Can you go through and match the name in English of the fish to the number?
These are the names of the fish in English:
sea eel
tuna
salmon roe
squid
fatty tuna
sea urchin
tuna roll
shrimp
Now - don't go to your dictionary! Try this: Matching the names in English to the right number in the picture with these hints:
1. This has lots of fish eggs, from a fish with the same name in both English and Japanese.
2. Has a very short name in Japanese; in English it has two parts to the name, and the second part means "naughty child."
3. As the name suggests in English, it curls up in a spiral in itself.
4. As the name also suggests in English, it's an "overweight" fish.
5. This is a common fish in other countries as well; Americans make sandwiches with it!
6. This also can be found in rivers; it's long, and makes for a good one to eat in summer.
7. The name for this in English is also a slang word for something small.
8. This one is slippery and comes in many varieties - including one that shoots out black ink!
Have fun! See you next time!
