Relationship To Humans
The whitefin trevally is a commercially important species in the waters off Japan, where it is known as kaiwari (カイワリ?), and of minor importance elsewhere throughout its range. For unknown reasons, the Japanese catch has decreased by half since the mid-1980s. It is taken primarily by bottom trawls on the continental shelf and considered to be a good table fish.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or humans:
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
