Japanese chum salmon populations have experienced significant declines over the last two decades, with climate change identified as a major contributing factor.
As a result, Japan now relies heavily on imports for its salmon consumption, sourcing the majority from countries like Chile and Norway.
This shift not only affects local fisheries but also raises concerns about the sustainability of salmon supply chains and the ecological implications of such dependencies.
