Land-Based Farmed Fish - Will it Improve Food Self-Sufficiency?
Hayashi Fish Farm, Inc. (the company, herein after) is the oldest fish farm in Japan, founded in Fukushima in 1935, and currently has a total of eight fish farms in Fukushima, Miyagi, Aichi, and Tottori prefectures. Taking a look at the company's website, the company farms approximately 10 species of farmed fish with an annual production volume of 400 tons, while the company is one of the largest inland salmon and trout farms in Japan. The company is also equipped with technology to minimize water intake, purify and circulate water, advanced sterilization technology, and an AI-based optimal aquaculture and feeding environment, and it appears that the company is not neglecting the development of fish farming technology that is evolving every year.
Currently, most of the farmed fishes sold in the Japan market are imported from overseas, but the company's presence is extremely valuable since we are facing to various challenges, such as the rapid increase in the world population and the damage to supply chains caused by intensifying regional conflicts around the world. The company's presence is going to be more and more valuable than before. （AS)
