For 70 years, the Nippon Suisan Kaisha Ltd. company of
Japan—also known as Nissui—has been involved with the
large scale commercial hunting of great whales, which
continues today despite the international ban on commercial
whaling. In 2001, Nissui, through its US subsidiary Nippon
Suisan USA, purchased seafood giant Gorton’s, Inc. of
Gloucester, Massachusetts. Gorton’s is the leading retail
distributor of frozen fish products in the US, generating
approximately $200 million in annual revenue—the most
lucrative of all of Nissui’s overseas business segments.
