Why has Japan increased efforts to fish in international waters? 1) It seeks to harvest enough fish to export. 2) It costs less to catch fish elsewhere. 3) It is the only nation with the technical expertise to take advantage of some fishing areas. 4) It has depleted the fish population around its shores.

Japan is one of the world's foremost fishing nations, accounting on average for about 8% of the world's catch. In 2000, the total catch was 4,989,354 tons, ranking third in the world. The waters off Japan include cold and warm currents in which fish abound.
