Hide / Show Abstract

Overall, Japan’s fishery production decreased over the years 2000, although certain sub-sectors were rather constant. Employment and capacity is continuously decreasing. The stock status of about half of the commercial species around Japan is low, while the status for the rest are at high or middle levels. While still significant and strong, domestic fish consumption has decreased.
