Abstract

Mangoku-ura inland sea is well-known as the production area of oyster seeds.

Owing to its balloon like form, Mangoku-ura was mostly protected against the severe
tsunami disaster in 2011's East Japan Earthquake, which supported early
recovery of the oyster production villages in the damaged Sanriku Coast. providing
the oyster seeds escaped from the severe damage.

This report will clarify the system of oyster seeds' production and utilization in the narrow inland fishery ground in Mangoku-ura.
