Abstract

Albacore has been mostly used for processed can products but eating it raw as sashimi has become very popular in recent years. In fact, Japan’s import of albacore has increased rapidly as the demand for albacore sashimi and sushi grows. In analyzing the background of this phenomenon, it becomes clear that increase of albacore supply has been caused by small tuna longline vessels, mostly below 24 m in total length.
