At present, Japan's inland waters face to an unique but serious topic so called black bass problem. The current problem grows so complicatedly involving social conflicts as well as ecological issue. One part grieves the crisis of biodiversity, while the other part appeals the right to take pleasure, showing no agreement. In the 1970s, insufficiency of legal control about alien species transplantation facilities anonymous transplantation with black basses without any local consensus. Extending of black bass distribution accelerated bass fishing which became popular in the 1980s. Commercialism in bass-related macro-industries during from the late 1980s to the early 1990s transformed the bass fishing from one of the fishing to one of the popular recreations. In Japan, those who receive the benefit from lakes and rivers have been under an obligation of stock enhancement for sustainable yield. On the other hand, newly introduced bass fishing is just a play or game and thereby dose not adapt to the traditional way of utilizing inland waters, which may lay to the outbreak of the bass problem.
