Synopsis
Future Onomichi trains six women as space fishermen to harvest fish in orbital tanks after oceans empty.
In the future in Onomichi, Hiroshima fish disappear from the sea around the world and only whales live in the ocean. The Ministry of Fishery decides to set up giant experimental Universe Fish Tanks in space. The Onomichi Universe Fishery Union is established and begins to train space fishermen.
