A trend called 'Gan Hai' has become popular in China in recent years, where people catch marine creatures in intertidal zones, post videos on social media platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, leading to widespread illegal fishing activities in Japan by Chinese tourists. The behavior of illegally catching high-end seafood like Ise lobsters, sea cucumbers, and abalones has caused significant concerns among Japanese locals and authorities. Some Chinese individuals and accommodations in Japan even promote and facilitate these illegal activities, with the trend evolving into a more cautious and strategic approach to avoid detection by authorities.
