Interestingly, most of the fishing industry is based on the offshore islands like Okinawa and such, but the residents and governors seem to be more concerned about Futenmma airbase than the fishing environmental problem.
Finally, tuna farming has pretty much taken off in Japan, but the infrastructure for that are so little because there aren't any subsidies for setting up one. Brilliant government.

It is better to cut back on fishing and put some fishermen out of work, than allow it to continue unchecked, driving the populations to near extinction, and putting all the fishermen out of work.
