The purpose of this thesis is to clarify essential factors and conditions that prompt an extensive resource management to secure sustainable production in marine capture fisheries, the case study of Small-scale Trawling Fishery in Seto Inland Sea, Hyogo Prefecture.
There are a number of reasons dealing with Small-scale Trawling Fishery in this paper. Firstly, this style of fishing is the main fishing method in Seto Inland Sea and a lot of fishermen make their living using this method. Secondly, this style of fishing works very efficiently. Therefore, there has been a remarkable decrease of high grade fish due to over catching and deterioration of the environment of fishing areas. Thirdly, the resource management of Small-scale Trawling Fishery has been successful due to some important steps established by fisherman to use their fishing areas in an cooperative and comprehensive manner.
It is from this point of view that I shall consider; the characteristics of organization and the continuance factors to manage a comprehensive use of fishing grounds.
The conclusion of this thesis found that four factors are absolutely necessary in order to keep a sustainable pace of development and extensive resource management in marine capture fisheries, i.e., 1) the existence of a controller and a leader of organization, 2) a systematization on resource management of marine capture fisheries, 3) the establishment of an observation agency, cooperative sales, and a very strict penalty system for offenders, 4) the support of a brokerage, a retail store, activation of young male activity, and the inspection of resource management effects of marine capture fisheries.
The aim of extensive resource management is to keep a sustainable pace of development in marine capture fisheries. Therefore, recovery and management of fisherie’s resources are not aims but means.
