Core offering

The Japan Fisheries Oil and Fats Association is a general incorporated foundation that compiles and publishes annual statistics on the Japanese fish oil and fish meal industry, conducts quality surveys on domestically distributed fish oil and fish meal products, and maintains fatty acid composition datasets for small pelagic fish. It also organizes technical lectures, symposiums, and joint seminars on aquatic oils, EPA, and DHA, while serving as the secretariat for the DHA・EPA Council. Its revenue is generated through supporting membership fees and the sale of regular periodicals and special publications.

Product overview

The Japan Fisheries Oil and Fats Association (一般財団法人日本水産油脂協会) operates as a research, publication, and industry association rather than a technology product company. Its core offerings consist of periodic publications (水产油脂統計年鑑, 水産油脂資源講演会記録, 水産油脂技術懇話会記録, JMOAレポート), research publications (魚粉の脂質組成調査, 水産生物功能性成分と研究動向), and reference books (＜実用＞水产油脂事典, 食品中のn-3系・n-6系脂肪酸, DHAの生理機能と必要量). The association also maintains free data resources including fatty acid composition datasets for four small pelagic fish species and fish oil/fish meal trade statistics. It manages the DHA・EPA議会 as a specialized division. The portfolio collectively covers the aquatic oil and fat industry's statistics, science, and resource education.

It jointly organizes lectures on DHA/EPA nutrition and functionality with the council. The council shares office space with the association at the same Shibuya address. The association publishes specialized reports and data related to EPA and DHA content in fish oils.
• 公益社団法人日本フィッシュ・ミール協会 (Japan Fish Meal Association)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSince 1995, the Japan Fish Meal Association has been commissioned by the Japan Fisheries Oil and Fats Association to conduct production performance surveys for fish oil and fish meal, continuing to present. The association shares office premises with this partner organization and references each other's publications.
• 农林水产省大臣官房新事业・食品产业部食品制造课 (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Manufacturing Industries Division, Japan)minorOthersThe Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) is listed as a related government institution. The association likely works with MAFF on policy-related matters regarding aquatic oil statistics and fisheries resources. MAFF is cited as a source for SDG targets related to fisheries resource management (Target 14.4).
• DHA高度精製抽出技術研究組合 (DHA Advanced Purification Extraction Technology Research Association)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe association joined the DHA Advanced Purification Extraction Technology Research Association in 1996 and conducted research on NMR methods for absolute quantification of DHA. From 1997 to 2000, it collaborated with Marined Industry Forum 21 on research to develop NMR-based DHA absolute quantity analysis methods. The association co-published 'Physiological Functions and Required Amounts of DHA' with this partner.

Others

• FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division: United Nations body producing global fisheries and aquaculture statistics. Comparable as a publisher of authoritative fisheries trade and production data that overlaps with the subject's statistical yearbook function.
• Fisheries Agency of Japan: Japanese government body under MAFF managing fisheries policy and statistics. Directly comparable as the primary consumer of the subject association's statistical surveys and policy data.

Broad incumbents

• Marine Stewardship Council: International non-profit setting sustainability standards for seafood. Comparable as a fisheries-focused non-profit that publishes standards and data influencing fish oil supply chains and engaging industry stakeholders.
• European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): European agency providing scientific opinions on food safety including omega-3 fatty acids. Comparable in producing scientific assessments and reference data on EPA/DHA functionality relevant to the subject's research publications.
• International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation (IFFO): The global industry association for fishmeal and fish oil, providing international statistics, sustainability standards, and member services. Comparable because it addresses the same fish oil/fish meal industry from a global perspective.
• Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED): International trade association representing the omega-3 EPA and DHA industry. Comparable to the subject association's DHA·EPA Council activities in promoting omega-3 research and education at an industry-wide level.

Regional players

• Japan Fisheries Association: Major Japanese fisheries industry association covering broader fisheries policy, production, and trade. Comparable in operating model (industry association, Japan-based, supporting members) but covers a wider scope beyond oils and fats.

Direct peers

• Japan Fish Meal Association: A closely related Japanese industry association for fish meal that has been commissioned by the subject association since 1995 to conduct production performance surveys. Shares office space and cross-references publications, making it the most directly comparable peer.
