Unfortunately at present I can't find out the study on the part-time fishery establishment with farming at all. The reason depends on the following condition. That is to say, before 1960's almost of the fishery establishments run the farming together in Japan, but after 1970's these part-time fishery establishments rapidly decreased. And the ratio of these part-time fishery establishments decreased to 11% at 2003. Now, shall the part-time fishery establishments with farming together disappear before long? This study is the answer to this question. The methodology of this study is statistical analysis. As the results I can point out following three points. (1) Today undoubtedly the part-time fishery establishments with farming together rapidly decreased. But more than 20% of the fishery establishments run the farming together in the small-sized fishery strata and 'Nori' laver aquaculture. And there are not a little these part-time fishery establishments with farming together in the East China Sea. (2) And the percentage of farming income in the total income of fishery establishment is about 10% now. It is certainly not so high, but it has meaningful economic role, because generally fishery income is very changeable, but farming income is comparatively constant. (3) I can find out one of the typical case of part-time fishery with farming in Saga Prefecture. In this prefecture there are two types of part-time fishery with farming. One is at the coast of the Ariake Sea and another is at the coast of the Genkai Sea. Mainly 'Nori' laver aquaculture with rice farming is run at the former region and many various fisheries with many various farming are run at latter region.
