Saury's unfishing is serious. The catch is 10% of last year. The wholesale price is tripled.
Saury's unfishing continues. The catch of this season has so far been limited to only 10% of the same period last year, and it is possible that it will be less than that of a man who was not fishing for the first time in half a century.
According to the Fisheries Information Service Center, the catch of saury in this season, which began in earnest in August, has reached 4594 tons by the end of last month.
It is only about 10% of the same time last year, and it is much less than the same time as the man who was not fishing for the first time in half a century.
This is due to the fact that saury swarms did not come to the waters near Japan, the far-off waters became fishing grounds, and there were many saury that were small.
Reflecting this situation, the wholesale price of saury in Tokyo and Toyosu Market last week was around 1400 yen per kilogram, which is about three times higher than last year.
Regarding the outlook for future saury fishing, the Fisheries Information Service Center has stated that “the landing has begun to increase this month, but it may be lower than the record of the unaccounted-for-those catch during the season.”
Iwate Miyako The slowest first fried saury
In the midst of the unfishing of saury, the first landing of this season was held on the 2nd in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, which boasts one of the largest catches of saury.
According to the fish market, it has become the slowest first landing so far, and the amount of landing is small, and the fishermen are raising concerns.
The first landing this season at Miyako Port was on a fishing boat off the coast of Nemuro, Hokkaido, where fresh saury was taken out of the boat and bids were made by middlemen at the fish market. It was.
In Miyako Port, it was the slowest first landing so far, and the amount of landing was 13 tons, about 100 tons less than last year's first landing.
In addition, the overall size is small and the fat paste is not good, but the transaction price per kilogram is 600 to 700 yen, double that of last year.
According to the fish market, there are no plans for landing in the future.
Captain Yoshida Mikihiko, a saury fishing boat, said, “This is a great fishing that I have never experienced before.
Mr. Yukio Sudo, president of a local fisheries company, said, “The price is too high, and honestly, it does n’t fit. If fishery continues, it will adversely affect the entire fishery industry, including retailers and distributors. "
