次の英文を読んで，後の問い（問１～問４）に答えなさい。 22～35

abandoned on the *seabed are creating inescapable traps for *hermit

crabs, leading to slow or even *brutal deaths of the “cleaners of the ocean,”researchers at Hirosaki University in Aomori Prefecture said.
The tires are another example of how *reckless human activity can lead to an
endless cycle of destruction in the seas.
Fishing nets and other “ghost *gear” left in the oceans have long been killing
marine life.
The university research team, in a report published in October, said
*discarded tires are also damaging the marine ecosystem by destroying hermit
crabs, which *purify water and sand.
The study started after Atsushi Sogabe, an associate professor at theuniversity, noticed many *sea snail shells and hermit crabs in the interior of a
discarded tire.
The researchers sank six tires into the ocean for an experiment, and a total of
1,278 hermit crabs
23
inside the tires in a year.
Although the researchers saw some hermit crabs gaining entry into the tires,
none of (１)網掛け部分については、著作権上の理由により公開できません。
them was able to come out.
When the hermit crabs tried24

the tire, likely in search of larger shells

to fit their growing size, they moved along the wall of the interior. But the *tire’srecurve kept the crabs stuck inside.
Many hermit crabs found inside the tires had damaged shells.
“Trapped in an environment with poor resources like the tire’s interior, theymight have been fighting for shells or *cannibalizing each other for food,”
Sogabe said.
Although it remains unknown how each tire specifically affects theenvironment, abandoned tires continue to be found during marine cleanups.
Sogabe says that the issue cannot （ア）be ignored and has called forcountermeasures.
The team’s study was published in the Royal Society Open Science at (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.210166).

In a report published in 2016, a British environment research company
estimated that more than 1 million tons of “ghost gear,” such as fishing nets andropes, are illegally discarded or lost at sea every year.
The equipment keeps trapping and killing marine life in a phenomenon
known as “ghost fishing” because the fishermen are long gone from the areas.
The Environment Ministry in a report compiled in 2018 said fishing nets andropes accounted for 41.8 percent of the weight of plastic waste （イ）washing up on
Japan’s shores, followed by *buoys at 10.7 percent.
According to the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), an international project*comprising governments, companies and nongovernmental organizations, 5 to30 percent of the world’s fish stocks are threatened by ghost fishing.
If the issue is left

25, the pollution could also affect tourism and marine

traffic.
The *vaquita, a small dolphin living in the Gulf of Mexico, has been pushed tonear-extinction by ghost fishing and *bycatch in *gillnets.
A report released in 2019 by the International Committee for the Recovery ofthe Vaquita(CIRVA) said there were only 10 vaquitas in existence as of 2018.

The World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) pointed to the urgency of taking
countermeasures in its report published in October 2020 (https://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/stop-ghost-gear-the-most-deadly-form-of-marineplastic-debris).
The need for fisheries is ever-increasing. Marine products are becoming anincreasingly important source of protein as the global population keeps growing.
The WWF refers to ghost gear as “the most deadly form of marine plastic*debris.”The organization is pushing for measures to prevent the loss of26bydesigning equipment that is *traceable through marking.
(２)

It also calls for development and use of fishing gear made withbiodegradable materials that are less environmentally damaging even if they（ウ）

are lost at sea.
