Fisheries trade

Japanese: 水産物貿易 - すいさんぶつぼうえき

Over 10% of the world's total fishery production is subject to international trade, with developed countries accounting for around 80% of imports and 70-80% of exports. Japan is one of the world's leading producers, but it also ranks first in imports, at about 30% of global imports, and its self-sufficiency rate for fishery products is only 60% (1997). The main imported products are shrimp, salmon, trout, tuna, squid, crab, and fish eggs. As fish consumption becomes more premium, mass imports of certain products are increasing, causing problems such as pressure on domestic fisheries, skyrocketing fish prices in foreign production areas, and overfishing.

Japanese:

世界の漁業総生産量のうち10％余が貿易の対象となり，そのうち先進国が輸入の８割前後，輸出の７〜８割を占める。日本は世界有数の生産国であるが，輸入も全世界輸入量の約30％で１位，水産物自給率は60％（1997年）にすぎない。主な輸入品はエビ，サケ・マス，マグロ，イカ，カニ，魚卵など。魚類消費の高級化で特定品の大量輸入がふえ，国内漁業への圧迫や外国産地での魚価暴騰，乱獲などの問題をひきおこしている。
