Kashiwa-jima is a fishing community, and is also popular among recreational scuba divers. The pens in the foreground are for aquaculture. The large pens hold tuna.

  • A minipizza batfish (Halieutaea stellata) settling on the seafloor before descending back to depth after being released from a fishing net. When stationary like this, these fish perch on their fins almost as if they were using legs. These fish are usually found between 50m and 400m depth.

  • A flower hat jelly (Olindias formosus) is a hydrozoan, not a true jellyfish. They grow up to about 15cm and are characterized by brilliant, multicolored tentacles trailing from a translucent, pinstriped bell. These semi-benthic animals have relatively short life spans, usually estimated at between four and six months. They are found primarily in the waters off Brazil, Argentina, and southern Japan.

  • This is a red frog spanner crab (Ranina ranina) walking across sandy substrate at high speed. When it emerges from the sand, this crab moves along the sea floor with forward motion, unusual among the true crabs. This species is the only extant member of its genus and is considered a delicacy in many countries.

  • This is a male Huenia heraldica crab, one of many species of crustaceans that use other animals for camouflage and protection. This crab was particularly ambitious in terms of the relative size of the hydroids it chose to carry around presumably for self-defense.

  • This is a red frog spanner crab (Ranina ranina) creating a sandstorm as it runs across sandy substrate. This species is the only extant member of its genus and is considered a delicacy in many countries. When it emerges from the sand, this crab ambles across the sea floor with forward motion, unusual among the true crabs.

  • This is a spanner crab (Ranina ranina), also known as a red frog crab. It is an edible crab found in tropical and sub-tropical waters. These crabs burrow into the sand rear-first, where they stay camouflaged with only their eyes protruding. They come out to scavenge for food. Unlike other crabs, this species walks in a forward direction. Though this crustacean is harvested for food, there is little known about this species’ ecology. It is the only species extant in its genus.
