Asada, Yohoji | Hirasawa, Yutaka | Nagasaki, Fukuzō
Management of fisheries encompasses inter-action between societal customs, fugitive resources and technology. Fisheries management in Japan consists of two basic types of management techniques: the use of fishing rights for delineating ownership over sedentary species in littoral zones and licensing systems where management regulations restrict the number and size of fishing vessels. Biological considerations are discussed and the coordination mechanisms required are described for blending resource characteristics with Japanese societal customs. An appraisal is given of the management measures adopted.
