In the saury fishing, which is expected to be extremely severe, the auction of saury, which was first landed by the main stick net fishing, was held in Akkeshi Town in eastern Hokkaido, and it was 1 kilometer at a high price of 11,000 yen last year. It was traded at a price as high as five times.

At the Akkeshi Fisheries Cooperative's wholesale market, about 900 km of saury, which was the main fishing rod fishing net that was first landed at Akkeshi Port from the 23rd to the 24th, was auctioned.

The auction started at around 8:30 am and the highest price was 11,000 yen per kilometer, which was about five times higher than the last landing of last year. (2330 yen last year).

A person in charge of a fishery processor in Akkeshi Town, who purchased the highest price of saury, said, “I am thinner than usual, but if I can not get this much, I will have to buy at a high price. Demand from the metropolitan area etc. is high As a result, prices may continue to be high."

After this, at the Akkeshi Fisheries Cooperative's direct sales shop, saury immediately lined up in the store, and the expensive one was sold for about 1200 yen.

A local 69-year-old woman said, "I can't buy it because it's lean and thin, but it's too expensive."

As a result of a resource survey, it is expected that the landing of this year's saury will fall below the record low last year, and extremely severe fishing is expected.
