Community Based Fisheries Management." Presented at the

In Japan, a fishing right is granted to a group of coastal fishermen who
are organized at the community level. Such a fishing right system has been
developed over the past 250 years. During this period there were three
fishery laws in effect. Under the first two fishery laws (Ura and the old
fishery law), the fishing right was granted in an attitude that the government
was the resource manager. Conversely, under the current fishery law,
fishermen are allowed to participate in the formulation of a coastal fisheries
management plan within a legal framework set out by the law. This has given a
great motive to fishermen to create their own community based coastal
fisheries management systems.

Management System in Japan." Marine Resource Economics, 10(1):21-

The development of Japan s community-based fishery management system is
described. Over the past 250 years, three fishery laws were in effect. These
fishery laws commonly adopted a fishing rights system as a tool for coastal
fisheries management. During the feudal era until 1867, the fishing right
system was used mainly to collect a fishery tax. The fishing right system
established by the Old Fishery Law (1901-1947) helped to reduce conflicts
between fishermen exploiting the same resources with different gears. The
Current Fishery Law, enacted in 1949, has led to Territorial Use Rights in
Fisheries by limiting its coverage to sedentary resources and non-mobile
gear. At the same time, the Current Fishery Law created a system to establish
coastal fishery management plans through fishing rights and licenses. These
innovations have motivated fishermen to create the community-based coastal
fisheries management system. Since the inception of the Current Fishery Law
in 1949, the number of fishery management organizations created increased
annually to a total of 1524 in 1993.

Between the Capture Fishery and Aquaculture. Marine Resource
Economics, 11(2):105-123.
This paper builds on the work of Anderson (1985a). Interactions between
the capture fishery and aquaculture are modeled in two different cases: (1)
cultured fish has the same market value as wild fish, and (2) cultured fish
has only a substitute value for wild fish. In agreement with Anderson s
conclusions, it is found that the entry of aquaculture lowers market price,
increases total supply, reduces fishing effort, and raises natural fish
stocks. When culture cost is reduced in some way, the fish price will
decrease and fishing effort will decline. This may represent another way to
reduce pressure on capture fisheries, with the advantage that the market
equilibrium has a higher supply and lower price than other effort control
measures. The interactions in both cases are similar, but impacts of
aquaculture on price, supply, and effort in the second case are weaker than
the first. Dynamic simulations are carried out and show more clearly the
process of dynamic iterations between the capture fishery and aquaculture.
