Japanese Marine Craftsmanship: Savour Sustainable Seafood

To ensure a stable supply of seafood without depletion is an important issue of the 21st century. Japanese Kindai University’s Aquaculture Research Institute has been conducting research in hatcheries and aquaculture technologies, and promoting a complete farming approach to replace depleting wild fish groups. They have been successful in 18 species and increased the production of ocean and freshwater resources to ensure sustainable development.
