Namibian crab in upmarket sushi bars in Japan
The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Hon Bernard Esau (middle) congratulating Mrs Annemarie Wohler (right) on the opening of the Amstai crab processing facility in Walvis Bay. Amstai is a Joint Venture between Mrs Wohler’s company Amswohl and a Japanese concern, Taiyo Fishing. Witnessing the occasion is the Japanese Ambassador, HE Hideyuki Sakamoto. Red Spider Crab is caught in limited quantities but is of such a high value that it attracted the attention of Saiyo which led to the Japanese investment. (Photograph by Noriene van Wyk)
