The oceans surrounding Japan are the source of a high percentage of the country's food intake.

In 2005, Japan was estimated to account for FIFTEEN PERCENT of the WORLD'S FISH CATCH, second only to China.

It is more economical for Japan to ship exports over the surface of the ocean rather that by air.
