Introduction: Japan imports a large number of fish and fishery products From the perspective of supermarket storage, the proportion of imported products to domestic products is 6:4 The range of imported products is from low-priced Chinese roasted eel to high-priced European "luxury fish" Last year, because of the long-term economic downturn, Japanese consumers reduced the consumption of some high-priced aquatic products, including shrimp and lobster However, according to some retailers, consumption has risen again in recent days because some importers have lowered their prices in order to clear their warehouses According to the import statistics of Japan, the import price of aquatic products from January to June 2001 is lower than that of the same period of last year, specifically as follows: Frozen Atlantic salmon (1.45-2.07 US dollars / pound); frozen yellowfin tuna (1.05-1.16 US dollars / pound); bigeye tuna (2.50-3.08 US dollars / pound); Brazilian spiny fat (2.23-3.18 US dollars / pound); Pollock Fish fillet (0.71-0.94 USD / pound); frozen shrimp (4.45-4.76 USD); cuttlefish (2.13-2.29 USD / pound); fresh / frozen tuna (2.53-3.07); fresh / cold tuna (2.78-3.41 USD / pound).
