3 Evolving Companies, Changing Markets, and New Tuna Products
3 EVOLVING COMPANIES, CHANGING MARKETS, AND NEW TUNA PRODUCTS 3.1 RECENT CHANGES IN THE GLOBAL TUNA INDUSTRY CORPORATE LANDSCAPE The globalization of the tuna industry over the last several decades has increasingly linked the fortunes of PICs in the tuna industry with those of large companies who often operate in multiple countries. These companies have undergone and continue to undergo transformations through mergers, investments, and acquisitions within and outside the tuna segment of the fishing industry. The mergers, acquisitions and marketing and/or production alliances are all part of corporate attempts to gain better advantage for profitability in a highly competitive business. The major tuna companies active in the WCPO are Thai Union (owner of Chicken of the Sea, and partner in Majestic Canning in PNG), Dongwon (owner of the StarKist cannery in American Samoa), Bumble Bee (contracts and oversees processing in Fiji), and Tri Marine (major shareholder in Solomon Islands integrated fishing, processing, and trading, and shortly to open a cannery in American Samoa). These companies have substantial processing and canning facilities outside the PIC region, global cold storage facilities, and extensive distribution networks as well as other branded seafood products in addition to tuna products. Recent merger and acquisition activity has consolidated the industry while at the same time broadening companies’ overall industrial, production, and marketing bases. Some of these actions included tuna, while some were for other seafood products.

Role of a Japanese Market for New Japanese Migrants in the United
Journal of Asian Research Vol. 1, No. 1, 2017 www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/jar Role of a Japanese Market for New Japanese Migrants in the United States Aki Yamada1* 1 University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan * Aki Yamada, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This research paper seeks to provide a clearer understanding of contemporary Japanese migration to the United States through a case study examining the role of one Japanese market, Nijiya Market, in Sawtelle, Los Angeles. This study identifies the main roles that this particular market serves, as evidenced by oral interviews and intensive site observation fieldwork. The findings reveal that the ethnic market is very important to the creation and maintenance of ethnic identity across multiple generations of new Japanese immigrants and migrants living in the United States. Furthermore, as a main component of many Japanese communities, the ethnic market enables Japanese to maintain aspects of their homeland lifestyle and culture, even while living abroad. Perhaps most importantly, they provide these Japanese with a way to extend a bridge between their lives in the United States and their lives in Japan. Keywords globalization, transnationalism, Japanese, community, market 1. Introduction Living in a globalized and diverse society like the United States, it is important to understand the various ethnic traditions and viewpoints that are encountered in everyday life. One highly visible form of this diversity is the abundance of ethnic communities such as Chinatowns, Korea Towns, and other less formally defined ethnic territories. Whether looking at ethnic identity, culture, or the economic impact, in many ways ethnic communities can be viewed as microcosms of the effects of globalization at the local level.
