Abstract
This paper focuses on a case of set-net fishery by Niizaki Fishermen's Cooperative, reorganized de facto in 2004 to Niizaki Suisan, Ltd. at Nii district, Ine town, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan in the postwar period. It is illustrated that the fishery commons could cope with the changes of the external factors, that is, prices of fish and materials to fish on the one hand, and resource stock on the other, changing the fisheries in use. However, the fishery faces the decrease of the employee, seemingly leading to discontinue itself. This situation reveals the difficulty in achieving the village / rural sustainability on the aspect of population, neither of resource condition nor economic performance.
