Seafood market

Japanese: 水産物市場 - すいさんぶつしじょう

It is a place where the supply and demand of fishery products meet, organized by the distribution function, and the various institutions and companies in charge of the fishery distribution sector smoothly adjust the supply and demand of fishery products, collect and distribute (distribute), and set prices, contributing to fishing production activities and satisfying the dietary needs of the people. The development of domestic supply and demand for fishery products, along with the accompanying development of distribution infrastructure and growth of commercial capital, are greatly transforming the traditional fishery product market. First, on the supply side, the widespread use of refrigeration storage facilities on fishing boats and the accumulation of freezers and refrigerators at major fishing ports across the country have led to the majority of catches from distant offshore fisheries being produced as frozen fishery products.

水産物の供給と需要とが流通機能により組織されて出会う場であって，水産流通部門を担当する諸機関･企業によって水産物の需給調整，集荷分荷(配給)，価格形成などが円滑に行われ，漁業生産活動や国民の食生活の充足に貢献している。　国内の水産物需給の進展とそれに伴う流通基盤の整備，商業資本の成長は従来の水産物市場を大きく変貌させている。まず，供給面では，漁船の冷凍貯蔵設備が普及し，全国の主要漁港に冷凍冷蔵庫が集積されたことによって，遠洋沖合漁業の漁獲物の大半が冷凍水産物として生産されるようになった。
