Gen info: Commercially cultured in Japan. Utilized fresh for sashimi, also canned. Catches: Mostly by Japan (37 and 61). Ecology: In the northeastern Pacific, they tend to migrate northward along the coast of Baja California and California, USA from June to September. Off the Pacific coast of Japan they migrate northward in summer and southward during winter. Large fish may enter the Sea of Japan from the south in early summer and move as far north as the Okhotsk Sea, most leave the Sea of Japan through Tsugara Strait, north of Honshu. |
