Japanese Import Representative Says
He Wants Alaskan Fish Products
A representative of the Nomura
Trading Company, Ltd., of Tokyo
met recently with Commissioner
Henry Roloff of the Department of
Economic Development and Plan
ning in a discussion aimed at the
sale of salmon roe, herring roe and
kelp to Japan. The businessman,
Y. Takahoshi, also expressed an
interest in sea urchins, codfish roe,
and abalone, according to Roloff.
Roloff said the discussion was
an attempt to explore the prob
lems, as well as the prospects, re
garding the export of the various
products of Alaska’s waters. “Kelp
and sea urchins, for instance,” he
said, “are not presently harvested
in Alaskan waters. We discussed
the possibilities of various arrange
ments which would permit that
harvest to occur, to be marketed,
and, at the same time, to be bene
ficial to Alaska, and our fisher
men.” A problem which he plans
to discuss with the State Depart
ment against importation of kelp,
and codfish and herring roe from
foreign countries.
Of immediate interest to Taka
hoshi, Roloff said, are salmon and
herring roe. He has made arrange
ments for a sample shipment of
chum and red salmon roe to be
shipped to Japan. Herring roe is
now being imported under special
license into Japan from the Soviet
Union, Takahoshi told Roloff, but
the firm which he represents would
prefer to obtain it from Alaska.
