日本産魚介類の輸入ゼロに　１１月、ニシキゴイ停止影響か―中国

　【北京時事】中国税関総署が１８日発表した１１月の貿易統計（月報）によると、日本産魚介類の輸入額はゼロとなった。１０月は淡水観賞魚が約３３万ドル（約４７００万円）分記録されていたが、その大半を占めるニシキゴイの輸入が１１月から止まっており、統計に表れたもようだ。
　中国政府は日本の東京電力福島第１原発から生じる処理水の海洋放出に反発し、日本産水産物に対する全面的な禁輸措置を８月下旬に発動。ニシキゴイについては、１０月末に期限を迎えた対中輸出に必要な許可を更新していない。ニシキゴイは禁輸の対象外とみられており、更新が滞っている理由は不明だ。（2023/12/18-17:42）

China's imports of fish and shellfish from Japan came to zero in value in November, a Chinese goods trade report revealed Monday.
   This can be attributed to the fact that the Chinese government has not renewed an import permission for Japanese "nishikigoi" carp since its expiration at the end of October, people familiar with the matter said.
   The varicolored carp make up most of freshwater ornamental fish imports, which totaled 330,000 dollars in October.
   Since late August, Beijing has imposed a blanket ban on Japanese fishery products to protest the release into the ocean of tritium-containing treated wastewater from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. But the ban is believed to exclude nishikigoi.
   China's total imports from Japan in November were almost unchanged from a year earlier at 14.1 billion dollars. Exports fell about 8 pct to 13.3 billion dollars, the report also showed.
