In Japan, we have developed a hatching and
release business that takes advantage of the salmon's tendency to return to
their mother rivers and obtains them as highly productive fishery resources. We
aim to upgrade this business to a more robust and sustainable food production
system that can adapt to ecosystem considerations and climate change, and
through our research we hope to contribute to the SDGs (Zero Hunger, Enriching
the Oceans).
The United Nations has designated the
decade beginning in 2021 as “the Decade of Marine Science” to contribute to the
SDGs. Marine science as defined by the UN includes the field of fisheries.
