Conclusions for Japan’s PBF catch before 1951
• No National PBF catch statistics,– local catch information exist.
• Amount roughly estimated,– by piling up catches of areas .– by information of distribution and fishing gear
development.• Amount comparable as present level.• Large fluctuations observed.
