Abstract

On the global fisheries scene, Japan’s presence is colossal and inescapable. Japan accounts for a third of the worked trade in seafood, importing more than four million tons of fishery-related products from over 120 countries each year. As a seafood market, Japan is particularly attractive for its prices. On average, the unit price for imported marine products is double that prevailing elsewhere in the world.
