Hokkaido coastal saury first landing...5:17 on July 15th
This was the first domestic catch of saury by drift net fishing by a small boat on the coast of eastern Hokkaido.
For drift net fishing along the coast of eastern Hokkaido, the fishing of small boats of less than 10 tons was lifted on 8th of this month, but the fishing did not behave and there was no landing until now.
One week after the ban was lifted, the local No. 88 Takamorimaru returned to Tokachi Port in Hiroo Town, eastern Hokkaido, and the first landing was carried out from 1:30 am on the 15th.
According to the fishermen, about 100 fish were landed and weighed only about 10 kg.
The fisherman who landed the fish said, "I don't expect to be a commercial business and I don't expect much from now on. The seawater temperature is high and the saury is gone.
Samma was trucked to Kushiro Port where the auction takes place. From next month, the main fishing line for saury will begin, and the saury fishing will gradually get into full swing.
