The fishery company, which was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and moved from Miyagi prefecture to Sakaiminato city in Tottori prefecture, has begun landing cultivated coho salmon this season as well.
The landing of coho salmon began at the quay near "Yumigahama Fisheries" in Sakaiminato City, and the fishery company officials picked up the coho salmon that had been cultivated off the coast of the Sea of Japan with a hose and sorted them neatly.
This company moved to Sakaiminato City 11 years ago to cultivate coho salmon because the aquaculture facility in Onagawa Town, Miyagi Prefecture was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
According to the company, the water temperature was relatively stable this season, so the coho salmon are growing well, and the current average size is 40 cm in length and 1.5 kg in weight.
This season, we expect to land about 1,300 tons of coho salmon by the middle of next month, and we plan to ship the landed coho salmon nationwide.
Hitoshi Aoyama, chief of the aquaculture department of Yumigahama Fisheries, said, "It has grown strongly in the rough seas of the Sea of Japan and has become a greasy fish. I am grateful that the business has grown so far with the know-how cultivated in Tohoku." I was talking.
