Since the end of Meiji era, Japanese fisheries have developed by motorization into the off-shore and deep-sea fisheries, and increased its productivity. Among many fishing villages, only a few were equipped with sufficient number of fishing boats and adequate laborers, and developed into prosperous ports which supply the large consuming cities with the products. On the other hand, many fishing villages in isolated islands were left behind the development.
In this paper, the author reports on the ways in which the small fishing ports in isolated islands play their parts in the distribution of products, and are utilized by coastal fishing boats.
The results are as follows;
(1) Fukue fishing port is the center of the area. Many boats enter the port and fishes are landed by coastal fishing boats, not only the local boats but also the boats belong- ing to other prefectures. And fishes are also sent to the Fukue fish-market from surrounding villages by land. But the fishes landed at the port are mainly cheep ones, such as saurels, mackerels and other miscellaneous fishes, and are distributed by fish brokers to their own prefectural markets.
(2) Such expensive fishes, as yellow tails, gold breams and lobsters, are sent directly from small fishing villages, where they are landed by the boats belonging to the villagers, to the large consuming cities, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Tokyo, by the prefectural federation of fishermen's cooperative associations.
