According to the Fishery/Aquaculture Production Statistics by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲーム Fisheries, the catch of natural yellowtail in 2016 was 104,800 tons. The catch of natural yellowtail used to be about half of the farmed yellowtail, but since 2010, it has constantly exceeded 100,000 tons, accounting for about 40% of the total production. By area, the Shimane Prefecture has the largest catch of yellowtail, followed by Ishikawa Prefecture, Hokkaido, ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲーム Nagasaki Prefecture.
