The primary purpose of this study is to elaborate on the history and cultural development of Aquaculture
Management by the Local Sea Farming Association in Japan. During its history, aquaculture management inIndonesia had gotten a lesson learned and absorbed some aquaculture techniques from Japan. Aquaculture
management in Indonesia began with the initiative from the local community's understanding (local knowledge;customary knowledge) and later was institutionalized using the customary law system.
This research identified, observed, and analyzed Aquaculture Management's history and culturaldevelopment by the Local Sea Farming Association in Japan. Almost all of the information got from the Official
Website of the Japan National Center for Stock Enhancement Fisheries Research Agency. The history of"saibaigyogyo senta" is well known that it started in the 1960s (or earlier) until now. Another information got frombooks and personal communication with some experts of Aquaculture management in Japan. Although some of theJapanese fish species are different from Indonesian species, Japanese Aquaculture Management can be used foranalyzing one of the concepts of cultural history and development. I believed this research project has alreadycontributed to the development of Indonesian aquaculture management by producing a "fresh" and new perspectiveof aquaculture management in Indonesia by the lesson from Japanese aquaculture management.
Based on this research finding, the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries of Indonesia should manage thepotential ecological and social impacts. Indonesian aquaculture should be paying attention to resource conflicts anddifficulties in accessing credit, quality seed and feed, and information. One of the keys to meeting growing demandhas to improve post-harvest processing to reduce aquaculture species losses. Aquaculture in Indonesia issometimes neglected in national development policy priorities, as policymakers sometimes do not have access todata, reflecting the importance of aquaculture to development. Appropriate policies and regulations remain essential,
however, ensuring that aquaculture development is pro-poor and sustainable.
Also, based on the lesson learned from Japanese Aquaculture Management, Indonesian Aquaculture
Management has to elaborate some local practices based on current local customs and local agreements used as thebasis of fishery management. During its history, aquaculture management in Indonesia began with the initiative fromthe local community's understanding (local knowledge; customary knowledge) and was later institutionalized using
the customary law system. In the development process, these local practices have changed dynamically in terms ofcultural, social, economic aspects and related cases of bio-ecological changes of water ecosystem as the base of
aquaculture activities as management subjects. A critical reference towards the possibility of local institution
adoption in proper aquaculture management has to be conducted. Through this, some entry points are identified
towards local institution-based aquaculture management.
