Nichiro headed the list, with turnover of US7.2
billion. The company boasts being the first to
introduce Atlantic salmon farming to Chile and
has been in business for a full century,
focusing both on fishing and on importing.
Fourth and Fifth Mowi, the company formerly known
as Marine Harvest, takes fourth position in the
list of global seafood companies by turnover. It
is followed by Mitsubishi which, although better
known for its pro- duction of cars and aircraft,
has a sub- stantial seafood import sector and
wholly owns the multinational salmon farming
business Cermaq.
Close Competition Next in line is another
Japanese compa- ny, Nippon Suisan Kaisha, with
turnover of 5.7 billion and similar business
inter- ests to Maruha Nichiro. This is followed

shrimp and tuna among other prod- ucts, with a
