(1) Lake fishery management entities (organized management entity or individual management entity that operated on a lake for 30 days or more over the past one year)

A “lake fishery management entity” is a household (individual management entity) or business body (organized management entity) that engaged in capture or aquaculture of aquatic animals and plants on a lake in order to sell products to gain profit in the past one year. It should be noted that the survey targets important lakes for fishery production in regions. This survey targeted a total of 58 lakes in 19 prefectures.

The total number of lake fishery management entities in Japan was 2,266, which was a decrease of 286 (11.2%) compared to the previous survey.

Looking at lake fishery management entities by management organization, individual management entities numbered 2,162, while organized management entities numbered 104. These figures represented decreases of 280 (11.5%) and 6 (5.5%), respectively compared to the previous survey.

Looked at in terms of engaged-in fishery type, the number of management entities that engaged in shellfish collecting/seaweed collecting was most numerous at 1,100, which was an increase of 28 (2.6%) compared to the previous survey. This is because the number of fishery management entities that engaged in freshwater clam fishery mainly in Aomori and Shimane prefectures increased.
