    300,000 tonnes for the fourth consecutive year.
     
    Fishing of scallops in Hokkaido's Okhotsk will officially begin in June, and fishing cooperatives will gradually cease operations
    in November.
     
    A fisheries cooperative official said the operation was difficult
    due to the stormy weather in December.

    37,000 tons.

    .
    The average price of scallops per region is around 200 yen ($1.
    50) per kilogram, and many say the value of processed scallops is at an all-time high
