This paper analyzes forms of fishery that facilitate conservation in unfavorable fishing places and presents subsequent policy problems that arise. The purpose of this paper is to focus on fishery in isolated islands, which is considered fishery in unfavorable fishing places, and to consider dividing fishery in isolated islands and examining the type of production needed in each division in order to devise measures to overcome the disadvantage. Specifically, this paper analyzes three issues: (1) the evaluation axis of fishery, (2) the positioning of regional promotion measures and fishery promotion measures, and (3) proper selection and concentration.
In this paper, fishery in isolated islands is divided into four phases, with the highest priority being the discussion of the method that enables the region rich in resources to supply foods to people despite the low degree of settlement. This paper argues that the deteriorated liquidity of today‘s fishery is largely because of modernization of production and the expansion of official support, neither of which is based on stable infrastructure. It also proposes that areas rich in resources should “liberalize production” to fisheries of other areas despite the low degree of settlement; moreover, whether or not there is production depends on official support.
Finally, this paper defines the policy supporting the above series of actions and its development as the “proper selection and concentration” policy. In order to supply foods to people stably amid the decreasing reserve of finances, prioritizing policy targets is inevitable taking into consideration the production factors clarified by the two axes of settlement and the amount of resources.
