Because Aomori Prefecture is surrounded by sea on three sides, the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan and the Tsugaru Straits, the marine products industry has long been flourishing and there is a wide variety and abundance of fish species.
In particular, an area along the Pacific Ocean around the port of Hachinohe is known for its big fish catches and serves as the base for inshore and deep-sea fisheries.
