Catching HUGE TUNA From Japan - Fisherman Fights So HARD

Japan sought a 20 percent expansion of its 4,882-ton large bluefin tuna quota and a 10 percent hike in the small fish quota of 4,007 tons at the four-day meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission’s (WCPFC) Northern Committee.

The United States opposed the proposed quota expansion, saying stocks of the species have not recovered enough. The Northern Committee comprises 10 countries and regions including South Korea and Taiwan.

While Japan’s quota will remain unchanged, the members agreed on the country’s acquisition of 300 tons of Taiwan’s large bluefin tuna quota in 2020. The terms of the quota transfer are not known. Bluefin tuna is a popular fish for sushi and sashimi.

The committee also agreed that if a member did not reach its quota in 2019, the balance can be carried over to 2020 as long as the amount does not exceed 17 percent of an annual catch limit, increased from the current 5 percent, Japan’s Fisheries Agency said.

“It is disappointing that our proposal was not accepted considering that our fishery industry had high hopes” of quota increases, said Shingo Ota, the councilor of the agency’s resources management department who led the Japanese delegation.

Japan will continue to propose a quota increase next year, based on the committee’s 2017 agreement on a flexible cap on the catch depending on surveys of parent fish numbers, Ota said.
