Microclimatic Conditions under which the Nasake Fishermen are Working at Sea in Summer

Abstract

In our ecological field survey on the fishermen of Nasake Island, Seto Inland Sea in August, 1968, microclimatic conditions under which they were working or staying at sea were investigated. It has been clarified that they regulated their thermal conditions by pitching a tent on the boat. Temperatures under the tent on the boat did not reach 27°C; while, temperatures outside the tent and on the ground reached nearly 30°C and 31°C, respectively. Effective temperatures under the tent were also measured.
