Memo: Tuna farming
Fish consumption is increasing worldwide, and there are concerns that marine resources will be depleted in the future.
In response to concerns about the depletion of marine resources, fishing regulations are being negotiated around the world.
Currently, fish farming is actively carried out, and there are various types such as salmon, sea bream, and yellowtail.
This time we focused on tuna, so I looked into tuna farming.
Japanese tuna farming
Japan’s tuna consumption is the highest in the world.
Therefore, farming and consuming tuna is a proposition.
According to data from the Fisheries Agency, the number of farmed bluefin tuna shipped appears to be increasing year by year.
Since we are dealing with living things, there are fluctuations, but the trend is that the number of farmed tuna shipped is increasing.
It’s a great initiative, and the results are amazing.
There are two types of aquaculture: natural seedlings and artificial seedlings.
Natural seedlings are a method of collecting and growing young fish.
Artificial seedlings are also raised from aquaculture. This is what is called complete aquaculture.
In terms of percentage, natural seedlings are overwhelmingly more numerous.
I think it means that artificial seedlings are difficult.
If the ratios become close to the same or the same, the times will change dramatically.
I think this is wonderful work and research that supports Japan’s food culture.
Furthermore, I believe that we can become someone who can help save food around the world.
I would like to ask the producers and engineers to do their best.
Good luck, Japan!
