Last year's landing of saury was a record low of 29,000 tons, down 27% from the previous year

Last year, the amount of saury landed in ports nationwide was more than 29,000 tons, a decrease of 27% from the previous year, the lowest ever, according to a summary of a group of saury fishermen.

In addition to the decrease in the amount of saury itself, the number of landings itself decreased because the saury did not visit the waters near Japan last year and the fishing grounds were far away.
