| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We collected 715 individuals of swordtip squid Uroteuthis edulis from fisheries that used towed gear, setnet and jig fishing with artificial light in the East China Seas and the western part of the Sea of Japan. Their stomach contents were analyzed by DNA base sequencing. We also analyzed ratios of empty stomach and cannibalization by using the GLM logistic analysis. The empty stomach ratio was influenced by areas, depths and fishing methods while the cannibalization ratio was influenced by the fishing methods.
From the stomach content analysis by DNA base sequencing, we identified 28 fish species and 5 invertebrates. The most observed species was Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus (22%), followed by swordtip squid (15%) and banded blue sprat Spratelloides gracilis (11%). In addition, high commercial value species including tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes and yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata were found.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
イカ類は鋭い口器を用いて餌を食べるため，検鏡による胃内容物の観察，特定は難しく，西日本における重要なイカ資源であるケンサキイカの食性については少数の地域で定性的な観察結果の報告しか無かった。本研究により，広い水域においてケンサキイカの食性が詳細に明らかになった。そして餌生物の中には水産重要種で高次捕食者でもあるブリ，マハタ，クエ，マルソウダ，ヒラソウダ，トラフグが含まれたことも初めて示された。しかしこれらの観察数は少なかった。
