For things like food, it can be said that everyone will not resist, but in different countries because of the difference in food taste, it will also lead to inconsistent selection of raw materials, so the use of some raw materials is different between countries. And this country of Japan is particularly different from the mainland, that is, they like to eat saury.
However, an extremely outrageous thing happened in this type of ingredient, that is, the Japanese have now begun to eat saury, and after they can't afford to eat it themselves, they also dumped the cause pot to the mainland, saying that it was caused by the mainland.
Seeing this, many people must be very incomprehensible, this is obviously slander, so why did Japan make such a statement?
One of the fundamental reasons why Japan will talk about saury is that the supply of this type of fish is no longer enough to meet their needs.
So why do the Japanese like saury so much that they are holding on to this issue? In fact, one of the main reasons is that saury is not only nutritious and delicious, but more importantly, it is more accessible to the island nation of Japan.
Saury is a type of fish living on the surface of the ocean, it mainly feeds on shrimp fish eggs, mainly distributed in the temperate waters of the northern Pacific Ocean, and this fish because of its living environment, so it has an extremely delicate and soft taste, extremely delicious, more importantly, it has 16 times more vitamin A in its nutrients.
Due to these factors, and the fact that it is located in an easily salvaged area of Japanese territory, the Japanese have been eating saury on a large scale since 1670, and it is still the most common type of food on the Japanese table.
However, it is precisely because the use of saury is particularly common in Japan, which also brings them certain problems. In fact, the price of this type of fish was relatively low at the earliest times, but after a large number of uses each year, the number of saury began to decrease, and the price of saury on the market gradually increased.
There is even a situation where a saury can be sold for 5,980 yen, which is equivalent to 300 yuan, which is definitely not just the price of a fish in the domestic seafood market. The impact on this phenomenon is that the Japanese can no longer afford to eat saury.
Originally unaffordable things can also be changed, but saury has been a common delicacy on their table for several years, and many people have even transformed eating saury into a living habit, but in the face of Japan's huge demand for saury, the number of saury that can be provided in China is very small.
For this phenomenon, Japanese media said that because the base of the mainland population is too large, a large number of overfishing of saury has caused a decrease in the number of saury in its country, and the catch of Japanese saury has indeed dropped from tens of tons to about 18,000 tons in 2021.
But one of the main reasons is really not caused by the mainland. Because the mainland is actually in the process of river improvement, it has also introduced many fishing bans, the main purpose is also to protect aquatic life. Moreover, the popularity of saury in the mainland is not high, and even if there is a catch of saury in the mainland, its proportion in the mainland fish diet is very small, and it will not be harmful to Japan at all.
Compared with this type of fish, the mainland prefers crucian carp, catfish and other freshwater fish, and the more popular ones are the type of fish, so the Japanese media's statement is not at all realistic.
In fact, the most important thing for Japan to do is to reflect on themselves, because the main factor affecting the decline in saury is environmental problems.
The reason why the mainland began to improve its river channels and issue a fishing ban is that it has realized that the environmental pollution caused by humans has caused great harm to the survival of aquatic organisms.
For Japan, in fact, the discharge of wastewater from Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant is itself an act that causes great harm to the marine environment, coupled with the comprehensive impact of global warming, which naturally leads to the decline of their saury resources.
On the other hand, Japan itself has a large demand for saury, so in fact, in its domestic fish fishing, there is overfishing for this type of fish, and this impact is still long-term, as the largest user of saury, in fact, Japan is the most obvious mastermind of this type of fish.
The decline in the number of saury in Japan has even led to the fact that they cannot even afford to eat saury, but under such circumstances, they not only do not reflect on themselves, but dump the pot to the mainland, which not only does not solve the problem, but also seems very stupid.
