(History of aquaculture in Japan)

O Statements concerning carp culture, scallop sowing culture and laver culture can be found in literature in the Edo period (from the 17th century to late 19th century). In the Meiji period (from late 19th century to early 20th century), inland water aquaculture and culture of pearls, oysters, scallops and tiger shrimp were started. After World War II, culture methods of wakame seaweed, kelp and laver spread widely.

O As for marine fish aquaculture, culture of yellowtail, horse mackerel, mackerel and sea bream was started in Hiketa Town (current Higashikagawa City), Kagawa Prefecture, in 1927, and developed significantly after World War II. Bluefin tuna culture began to be studied in around 1970, but full-scale aquaculture production became possible only from around 1990.

In recent years, there have been efforts particularly in fish culture to improve business by culturing high-price fish species that had not been cultured before, such as sturgeon, longtooth grouper and threadsail filefish, through technology development.

## (3) Various aquaculture methods

Aquaculture can be largely divided into feeding aquaculture in which humans provide feeds and non-feeding aquaculture that uses wild plankton and nutrient as feeds. In general, aquaculture of fish and crustaceans is feeding aquaculture, and that of shellfish and algae is non-feeding aquaculture.

As for aquaculture production facilities, the major method used in fish culture is to rear fish in fish cages. The main method used for shellfish is the hanging culture where shells are threaded onto a rope or wire hung from a raft. Algae is cultured by attaching algae to longlines using ropes or to nets, and harvested when it has grown. Inland water aquaculture uses aquaculture ponds.

## (4) Status of Japan's aquaculture production

(Declining aquaculture production volume)

Japan's aquaculture production volume remained around 1.3 million tons after peaking in 1988 at 1.43 million tons, and has been on a moderate decline since 1996. In 2011, the production volume sharply dropped due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, but recovered to a certain level in 2012 at 1.07 million tons (marine fish aquaculture: 250,000 tons; shellfish culture: 350,000 tons; algae culture: 440,000 tons; and inland water aquaculture: 30,000 tons).

Aquaculture production volume accounts for 22% of the total fishery and aquaculture production volume. For some fish species, cultured fish accounts for a majority of the domestic production volume.

## (Signs for aquaculture production value hitting the bottom)

Japan's aquaculture production value had been declining after peaking in 1991 at 736.4 billion yen. However, it began to show recovery from 471.8 billion yen in 2009, reaching 484.2 billion yen in 2012. In 2012, aquaculture accounted for 34% of the total fishery and aquaculture production value.

While the production volume of inland water aquaculture had been below 50.0 billion yen from 2001 to 2003, it recovered to 71.0 billion yen by 2012.

## (Aquaculture operators expanding their business size)

The number of aquaculture operators has declined or has been level for most types of aquaculture.

The production volume per operator has increased substantially. The decrease in the number of operators has been offset by the expansion of their business size.
