There are many discussions on Finfish.org about finfish aquaculture developments and innovations in Australia, EU and the United States but what about Japan?
Japan has one of the highest global per capita levels of fish consumption and therefore it is not surprising that it is the target market of many finfish aquaculture producers. However Japan’s capabilities in terms of capital investments, research and development, as well as automation is possibly ranked amongst the top few in the world.
It is crucial to understand where the market is. However it is also crucial understand the development of aquaculture in that market as it is aiming to improve its self sufficiency in (sea)food supplies. See the link below.
