An international conference to discuss resource management such as Pacific bluefin tuna will start on the 1st.
So far, the subordinate organization has proposed to increase the catch quota of large bluefin tuna by 15%, and if it is finally approved, the amount that Japan can catch will increase, but due to the bargaining with island countries etc., prejudice is allowed. There is no situation.
The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission meeting will be held online from the 1st to the 7th, with 26 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, the EU-European Union and island nations such as Papua New Guinea.
At a sub-organizational meeting held this summer, there is a plan to increase the catch quota for large bluefin tuna by 15%.
If the quota is finally approved, Japan will be able to catch 732 tonnes of bluefin tuna in this area, which could lead to lower prices.
On the other hand, there are disagreements between the island nations and Japan over regulations such as the catch of tropical tuna such as yellowfin and bigeye.
For this reason, fierce bargaining is expected between participating countries and regions, and it is unpredictable whether a final agreement will be reached.
