Maruha Corporation
 PROFILE
Maruha is the big tuna on Japan's sushi tray. Japan's top seafood producer, Maruha gets more than half of its sales from fish and shellfish. The company also provides canned, frozen, and other processed convenience foods. Sugar, meats, animal feeds, and fish byproducts for use in health foods, cosmetics, and drugs also fill out its bottom line. Conservation efforts since the late 1970s forced Maruha to trim its fishing fleet, but it now has joint ventures in 18 countries to obtain and process fish, including Alaskan salmon and tuna from the Solomon Islands, and Minke whales harvested from Antarctic waters for "scientific purposes." Maruha also owns professional baseball team the Yokohama Bay Stars.
