Japanese Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Miyashita Ichiro said that Japan had provided the required documents to China for the quarantine of Japanese carp, but China has not announced the completion of the process. China is the largest importer of Japanese carp and purchased almost $8 million worth of ornamental fish last year. However, China has suspended all seafood imports from Japan due to concerns over the release of treated water from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant into the ocean, despite the fact that carp farming is different from ocean fish.
