In recent years, record poor fishing of squid, saury, and salmon has continued in the waters near Japan, but it has been pointed out that it may continue for a long time in the future due to factors such as global warming.

At the first meeting on the 8th, Secretary of the Fisheries Agency Hideaki Yamaguchi said, "It is considered that the situation is different from the past poor fishing, and we must consider the future fishing industry."

The study group will proceed with discussions with the aim of compiling the report by the end of next month.
