This paper presents principal references and charts that are useful for decision-making for the concept design of Japanese purse seiners. The procedure to make a concept is conducted by comparing with the state-of-the-art Norwegian purse seiners associated with considering fisheries management. First, the relationship between the Norwegian fishing management system and the fishing vessel design is described to recognize the characteristics of Norwegian purse seiners. Individual vessel quotas （IVQ） of purse seiners used in mackerel and herrings are controlled by the allocation of basic quotas, and the relationship between the basic quota and the size of a fishing vessel is argued. Second, the basic dimensions of Norwegian and Japanese vessels are compared to acquire differences in basic design. Finally, the specifications and subjects are arranged using “Morphological chart”which is a type of system engineering method.
