Foreign tuna dominates the sales floor.

Foreign tuna dominates sales floor at Tsukiji Market, keeping an eye on domestic tuna shortages

Oma fishermen are suffering because of the unequal fishing quotas.

Brokers may have no choice but to rely on imported products.

However, when I think about it and think, "Why does this happen? Does it happen like this?", I can't accept it.

① Tuna from Toi (← not Oma) 7,000 yen per kilo, 100kg (low estimate) = 700,000 yen x 1 tuna

② Purse seine tuna: 200 yen per kilo, so 15kg (a rough estimate) = 3,000 yen x 500 = 1,500,000 yen ← However, not all of it can be sold.

In order to distribute ②, ① cannot be distributed and foreign products will be circulated, right?
