Fishing resumes at central port damaged by Noto quake

Fishermen have resumed fishing for winter yellowtail in waters off Ishikawa Prefecture this week as business begins to return to normal in quake-hit Takojima Port.

Activity resumed at the port in Suzu, Ishikawa Prefecture, on Monday, thanks to emergency repair work after facilities were badly damaged by the earthquake, which was rated a shindo 7, the highest rating on the seven-point Japanese seismic intensity scale.

Around 600 winter yellowtails were landed at Takojima in the early hours of Monday after the first fishing trip from the port this year.
