能登旧西海村における漁業危機と人文地理学の立場

抄録

The fishing in Saikaimura in the west coast of Noto Peninsula has been operated by the two coexisting classes of villagers, one depending on either the one-rod or the long-line fishing, while the other employ-ing the fixed-net fishing. The former belongs to the comparatively poor class and the latter to the wealthy and influential class. The latter has employed fishermen from other villages temporarily for the fishing season, which is different from that of the former class. This is the reason why they have been able to coexist up to 1954.
It was in 1955 that the latter class started the ‘purse seine’ by electric light and succeeded in catching the same kind of fish abundantly at a time in the fishing ground of the former class. Since then hostility between these two classes has started. This is one of the examples of antagonism between a large scale management and a small scale private fishing which can feen seen in many fishing villages throughout Japan.
