日本の海では今年、とれるサンマがとても少なくなっています。去年の同じころの20％ぐらいです。
しかし、北海道根室市の港には今サンマがたくさんいて、大勢の人が釣りに来ています。
9日の朝は、30人ぐらいがサンマを釣っていました。釣りの糸を海に入れるとサンマがすぐに集まって、1時間に100匹ぐらい釣った人もいました。
釣りに来た女性は「たくさん釣れて驚きました」と言いました。
専門家は「なぜサンマが港に来たのか、よく分かりません。遠くの海が冷たくなって、水が温かい港に来たのかもしれません」と話しています。

In Japanese seas this year, the number of Pacific saury caught has decreased significantly. It is about 20% of what it was around the same time last year. However, at the port of Nemuro City in Hokkaido, there are currently many Pacific saury, and a large number of people are coming to fish. On the morning of the 9th, about 30 people were fishing for Pacific saury. As soon as they cast their lines into the sea, the saury gathered quickly, and some people caught around 100 fish in an hour. A woman who came to fish said, 'I was surprised by how many I caught.' An expert said, 'We don't really know why the saury came to the port. It might be because the distant sea has become cold, and they came to the warmer waters of the port.'
