○Fisheries Policy for FY2010 ___ 27
## Topics: Fisheries in FY2009

### 1. Effective Use of Unused Fish: Mottainai

☐ When fishery products undergo the distribution process, some fish are not used for human consumption or are traded at low prices due to the uneven size of the catch or too small a product quantity to form one lot for distribution. In recent years, there have been growing moves to try to effectively use such “unused fish.”

○ Effective use of unused fish complies with the spirit of Mottainai $ ^{*1} $ in terms of not wasting food and using resources to the fullest.

○ In order to increase fishers’ earnings and to raise Japan's seafood self-sufficiency rate through expanding its consumption of fishery products, active efforts should be made by people concerned in each phase, from production to distribution and consumption of fishery products.

*1 Mottainai is a Japanese phrase which Wangari Maathai, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, advocated to spread as a universal slogan for protecting the environment. The phrase is often translated as “waste not, want not.”

## Effective use of unused fish by a wholesale market [Nagasaki Prefecture]

A wholesale market has opened a restaurant serving unused fish, and also started selling processed products made of unused fish via the Internet, both of which have been well reputed by users.

Increase of earnings through use of unused fish

[Shizuoka Prefecture]

A supermarket has sold fixed net catches including unused fish that have been bought from a fishery cooperative, thereby increasing fishers’ earnings. This effort is also well reputed by consumers due to the outstanding freshness of the products.

## Effective use of unused fish with new processing technology [Ibaraki Prefecture]

Purse seine fishers and a fishery processing company have collaborated to develop new processed products made of unused fish for school meals and restaurants.

Product development using unused fish parts [Kagoshima Prefecture]

Stock company K has developed a new product by effectively using the flesh attached to the backbone of filleted farmed fish.

### 2. Raising Japan's Self-sufficiency Rate regarding Fisheries Products for Human Consumption through Fast Seafood (Fast Food + Seafood)

○ Many conveyor-belt sushi bars have intensified their efforts to actively use local fishery products and reduce food scraps.

○ Hamburger chains have provided seafood burgers using domestic fishery products as ingredients in response to consumers’ increased preference for healthy, safe and reliable food.

☐ It is necessary to increase Japan's seafood self-sufficiency rate by stimulating consumption of domestic fishery products.

### 3. Infestation of Giant Jellyfish

The infestation of giant jellyfish in FY2009 was characterized by its large scale, early timing, and extensive area.

☐ The massive infestation occurred because a number of conditions favorable for jellyfish outbreaks emerged as a result of environmental changes in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea.

The Fisheries Agency took measures such as paying the cost required for monitoring of area and status of the infestation and providing such information, promoting the introduction of improved fishing gear, exterminating giant jellyfish using a jellyfish cutter or an underwater pump for exterminating giant jellyfish in the sea, and processing the jellyfish on land for disposal or effective use. In addition, Japan strengthened cooperation with neighboring countries, in order to advance the level of infestation prediction technology through a joint monitoring survey with China and South Korea.

### 4. World Trend of Conservation and Management of Tuna Resources

☐ The amount of Japan's tuna catches ranked the highest in the world in 2007, accounting for 14% (248,000 tons) of the world's total tuna catches. Also, Japan is the largest tuna consumer in the world, being supplied with 473,000 tons of tuna (the total amount of Japan's catches and imports).

☐ Japan is a member of all of the five regional fisheries management organizations (RFMO) in the world.

☐ With regard to bluefin tuna, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) strengthened their conservation and management measures.

☐ At the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) held in Doha in March 2010, the proposal to list Atlantic bluefin tuna in CITES Appendix I was rejected. However, considering the fact that a number of countries supported the listing, Japan regards that the RFMOs' resource management is insufficient.

☐ As the world's largest tuna consumer, Japan is not in a position to import tuna that are not caught in compliance with RFMO rules. It is important for Japan to demonstrate international leadership with a view to prevent overfishing.

### 5. Toward the Sustainable Use of Whale Resources

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has become dysfunctional due to the endless argument over the utilization of whole resources between nations that support the sustainable use of whales and anti-whaling nations. Toward normalizing the IWC, discussions on the “Future of the IWC” were commenced in 2008 with an aim to reach a comprehensive agreement on it.

In February 2010, a report by the IWC Chair was released to the public, proposing a draft agreement framework to introduce provisional measures, such as allowing whaling activities under catch limits below present levels without defining the purpose of the whaling (e.g., commercial, research), for the next ten years.

In recent years, anti-whaling groups’ obstructive actions against the Japanese fleet engaged in whaling for research purposes in the Antarctic Ocean have become a problem.

During the 2009/2010 research cruise, the anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd obstructed Japanese research vessels by throwing bottles containing butyric acid at the crew members, trying to tangle the propellers of the research vessels with ropes, and pointing laser lights, at the faces of crew members, which could cause blindness. Further, a sabotage vessel collided with a Japanese research vessel, and a Sea Shepherd activist unlawfully boarded a Japanese research vessel.

○ Japan should continue to request the relevant countries, including the country where Sea Shepherd's sabotage vessels are registered, to take responsible actions to prevent obstructions against Japan's legitimate research activities under Article 8 of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.

6. Eel Production not Relying on Natural Resources: Aiming for Closed-cycle Aquaculture

○ In 2010, the Fisheries Research Agency succeeded in closing the life cycle of eels, from spawning, hatching and rearing to spawning, under artificial rearing.

## Chapter 1 Highlight: What Is Required of Fisheries and Fishing Communities in the Future

### Section 1. Current Status of Fisheries and Fishing Communities

(Fisheries and fishing communities support Japan's coastal communities)

There are fishing communities all along Japan's coasts. On average, fishing communities are located every 5.6 km along the coastline.

Number of fishing communities: 6,298 (every 5.6 km along the coastline)

(Many fishing communities are located in less-favorable areas)

About 20% of all fishing communities around port in Japan are located on isolated islands, and 30% are on peninsulas. In 30% of the fishing communities on isolated islands, 50% or more of the people living there are aged 65 or above.

○About 30% of fishing communities around port are located on steeply sloped areas, and 50% are in narrow areas immediately in front of a cliff or a mountain. Therefore, those communities lag behind in the development of infrastructure for daily living and are vulnerable to disasters such as large earthquakes and tsunamis.

Areas Designated as Fishing Communities around Port

Isolated island areas	Peninsula areas	Depopulated areas	Total
Number of fishing communities around port	790	1,468	2,645	4,653
(17%)	(32%)	(57%)	(100%)
Number of communities where 50% or more of the population are aged 65 or above	210	192	399	494
[26.6%]	[13.1%]	[15.1%]	[10.6%]

### Section 3. What Is Required of Fisheries and Fishing Communities

(People expect fisheries and fishing communities to play diverse roles)

☐ Fishing communities, serving as the bases of fishery activities, not only provide places for people to live, but also have multiple functions that are demonstrated through the daily lives of people in those communities and their activities of fisheries.

○ Consumers place importance on such roles to be played by fisheries as eco-system conservation, inheritance of traditional culture, and marine environment conservation, in addition to the supply of food.

☐ In order to revitalize fisheries and fishing communities, efforts should be made to enhance their added value by rediscovering the appeal of fishing communities through exchanges with urban residents, and making effective use of such appeal.

(Sustainable use of fishery resources is required)

○ Appropriate management and sustainable use of fishery resources are essential for fisheries and fishing communities to demonstrate multiple functions.

☐ Japan's unique method of jointly managing local fishery resources has been inherited up until today, and contributes to the existence of local communities.

There are various parts of Japan where, in addition to official regulations under the Fishery Act, local fishery operators have independently and voluntarily concluded agreements to manage fishery resources so as to preserve their respective local communities.
# Fishing Community Taking Actions for Sustainable Use of Local Resources [Notsuke Peninsula, Hokkaido Prefecture]

Toward sustainable use of Hokkai shrimp, voluntary resource management efforts have been made, including restrictions on the use of power-driven vessels, resource surveys conducted before the fishing season, and the establishment of no-fishing zones. Due to efforts to stabilize fisheries income, the aging rate in this area is 4.4%, significantly lower than the national average of 34.2%.

## Cooperative and Active Challenges among Communities [Suruga Bay, Shizuoka Prefecture]

Fishers in this district are conducting joint and voluntary operations for the purpose of managing the resources of Sakura shrimp (Sergia lucens). They have implemented measures including equal distribution of landed value.

Since the effectiveness of this resource management was recognized, the fishery cooperatives concerned acquired certification from the Marine Eco-Label Japan.

(Shifting from marine transportation, trade and navy to recreational fishing guide services and accommodation services)

Coastal fishery households also engage in economic activities other than fisheries, such as agriculture, recreational fishing guide services, accommodation services, and fishery processing.

☐ Fisheries and fishing communities still play diverse roles, similar to those in the medieval to early modern times.

## Types of Business Management by Coastal Fishery Households (2003)

## (Effective use of diverse human resources, including women is required)

☐ It is important to promote direct store sales and the processing and sales of fishery products, by using the female workforce in order to increase fishery households' earnings and to revitalize fishing communities.

○ Some communities have been making revitalization efforts to make full use of local resources, including fisheries and fishing communities, by using people moving in from other areas and former residents returning from other areas, while some have improved the work environment for people moving in from other areas with the aim to foster and secure fishery workers.

☐ The future challenge is to facilitate the revitalization of fisheries and fishing communities based on exchanges of information among fishing communities, through a renewed recognition of the history of fisheries and fishing communities, which have developed by introducing new knowledge and technology through active exchanges with other communities.

## Using an Island as a Nature School [Ojika Island, Nagasaki Prefecture]

A non-profit organization promotes experiential activities and tours, such as a stay at an agricultural, forestry, or fisheries household, and sea kayaking, and hires young people both from the island and from other areas.

### Section 4. Developing Fisheries and Fishery Communities into a “Sixth Industry” (Summary)

☐ Efforts to develop fisheries and fishery communities into a sixth industry (combined form of primary, secondary and tertiary sector industries) have become active. Such efforts include fishery processing, direct sales of fishery products, fishery household restaurants, fishery household accommodations, experiential and tourist fishery, recreational fishing, and diving.

## Recreational Fishing [Kyoto Prefecture]

In Kyoto Prefecture, fishery cooperatives and recreational fishing-related organizations have made progress in making rules together, such as the establishment of harvest-prohibited zones and hours.

## Experiential and Tourist Fishery [Nachi-Katsuura Town, Wakayama Prefecture]

In Wakayama Prefecture,

fishers have started a

whale-watching business,

and have contributed to

revitalizing the region,

which is also a hot springs

resort.

## Fishery Household Accommodations [Fukui Prefecture]

Fishery household accommodations on Tsunekami Peninsula, Fukui Prefecture, have actively served local fish dishes and provided experiential learning programs. Their fishery income has been supplemented with such tourist income.

## Direct Sales of Fishery Products [Fukui Prefecture]

Taking advantage of its favorable location adjacent to a large city, the Itoshima Fishery Cooperative in Fukuoka Prefecture has opened oyster huts where visitors can eat oysters and other fishery products on-site, gaining its popularity.

○ Fisheries function as the core of local industries that utilize local resources, including fishery processing, refrigerated warehousing, and fertilizer manufacturing, which clusters around fishery product landing ports.

○ It is important to spur the local economy by enhancing cooperation among fishery processors and distributors within the area, and to strive to supply fishery products desired by the actual users, through the development of new products and sales channels.

## Development of Premium Canned Products Using Large, Sashimi-Grade Saury [Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture]

In Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, fishers, a canner, and a soy sauce manufacturer have cooperated to develop and sell canned products using large, fatty, sashimi-grade, high quality saury.

## Fisheries Industry Functioning as a Local Core Industry

The fisheries industry is an important local core industry for areas where a large fishery product landing port is located. For example, in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the number of marine fishery workers is 767, only accounting for 1.2% of the number of workers of all industries, which is 65,135. However, workers of industries related to fishery constitute 20% of the workers of all industries, and an industrial cluster has developed with fisheries at the core.
