クロマグロの漁獲管理強化　法改正案を閣議決定

　政府は８日の閣議で、太平洋クロマグロ（本マグロ）の漁獲管理強化を目的とする漁業法など関連法の改正案を決定した。総漁獲量だけでなく、漁獲尾数の報告を求めるのが柱。漁船名や陸揚げ日、個体ごとの重量の記録作成と保存も義務付ける。違反への罰則を強化し、法人への罰金刑も新設する。

The Japanese government Friday adopted a bill to strengthen the management of Pacific bluefin tuna catches to prevent illegal fishing.
   According to the bill to revise the fisheries law, fishery operators would be required to report not only the total catch volume but also the number of bluefin tuna they catch.
   It also calls for obliging fishery operators to create and keep records of the names of fishing vessels, the dates of landing and the weight of each individual fish.
   The bill was drawn up in response to illegal distribution of bluefin tuna caught off Oma, Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, that came to light in 2021.
   The government also adopted a bill to promote the use of smart agricultural technologies. It hopes that the bills will be enacted during the current parliamentary session.
