Is there a Kanji for the Japanese word イクラ as in salmon roe?


I can't find anything in the dictionary.

My book gives the word in hiragana but the dictionary also shows katakana.

A quick google revealed that it is a loanword from Russian so katakana seems
more appropriate.

But is there a Kanji for this word?




People on the internet ([1](https://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/292518.html),
[2](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q102827560))
suggest that 鮭卵 may be used as
[_jukujikun_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji#jukujikun) for イクラ, but as
you already found out, イクラ itself derives from Russian икра (ikra) and is
usually written in _kana_.
