The purpose of this study is to consider strategies to avoid the decrease in the number of fishery workers and fishery management units by focusing on there construction of management organization. For this purpose, the need and the effectiveness of implementing an organized management system are analyzed in this paper.
In this study, the target to be considered is the LLP: Limited Liability Partnership, which was able to be established after the introduction of a law related to this subject in 2005. This study was conducted with the administration (Yamaguchi prefecture), the fisheries cooperative associations (FCAs), and fishermen. The case studies were squid-fishing fishery in area A of Hagi city in Yamaguchi prefecture and Spanish mackerel pole-and-line fishing fishery in area B of Shimonoseki ctiy in the same prefecture, which are LLPs that were established in Yamaguchi prefecture within recent years.
As a result of this study, it was found that the administration, FCAs, and fishermen recognize the need and effectiveness of organized management; however, it was found that LLP has not been able to be utilized effectively because the business mode of the future has not been able to be identified. The challenge from now is to look into the future business mode prospects and to shape the way of running the organized group management system.
