The general meeting was held at the Ishinomaki fish market 25 days later than last year, as sea water temperatures rise.
The "2024 Farmed Coho Salmon General Acceptance Meeting" of the Raw Fishing and Fishing Boat Attraction Promotion Committee of Ishinomaki City was held at the Ishinomaki Fish Market on the 19th. Ishinomaki coho salmon is a fish in high demand under the brand "Kinka Gin", but the harvest has been delayed this season due to growth delays due to rising seawater temperatures. At the meeting it was decided that the shipment would arrive on the 28th, 25 days later than the previous year.
The delay in the start of sales is due to the fact that the work of placing fry, which are sensitive to heat, in cages has been delayed between three and four weeks compared to usual due to the increase in sea water temperature . Another contributing factor was that the young fish were not eating enough food and were not growing.
The value of farmed coho salmon landed at the Ishinomaki fish market last year was 4,446.75 million yen. This season's arrival is expected to be 5,000 to 5,200 tonnes, down from last year's 5,900 tonnes. On the 28th, when the first shipment arrives, it is planned to handle between 2.5 and 3 tons from Bunmaru Suisan (Ayukawahama, Ishinomaki city).
