PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a squid fishing boat and a squid fishing method capable of efficiently catching squids by efficiently using fishing lights.SOLUTION: When a position of a fishing line 23 arranged nearest to the bow side is defined as the most bow side fishing line position a1, when position of a fishing line 23 arranged nearest to the stern side is defined as the most stern side fishing line position a2, and when a distance in the long direction of a boat between the most bow side fishing line position a1 and the most stern side fishing line position a2 is defined as a reference distance a, by setting the center position a3 of the reference position a as a center, an area within 65% of the reference distance a in the long direction of the boat is set as a fishing light area 31. Fishing lights 30 are only to be disposed within a range of the fishing light area 31.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】集魚灯を効率的に利用して、効率よくイカを釣りあげることができるイカ釣り漁船及びイカ釣り漁法を提供する。【解決手段】最も船首側に配置される釣糸23の位置を最船首釣糸位置a1とし、最も船尾側に配置される釣糸23の位置を最船尾釣糸位置a2とし、最船首釣糸位置a1と最船尾釣糸位置a2との間の船の長さ方向における距離を基準距離aとすると、基準距離aの中心位置a3を中心として、船の長さ方向に基準距離aの65%以内の領域を集魚灯領域31とし、この集魚灯領域31の範囲内にのみ集魚灯30を配設する。【選択図】図1
