Abstract
Marine fisheries and aquaculture both play an important role in Japan’s agriculture. The latest statistics show that total fisheries production was 54.1k t, indicating active exploitation of marine resources. Fishing is a traditional industry in Japan that depends on the abundant resources of the sea. Aquaculture is also important, with fish and shellfish farming especially thriving. This contributes to increasing fish catches and protecting the marine environment. This trend demonstrates Japan’s position as a maritime nation and its promotion of sustainable fishing policies.
Statistical survey of inland water fisheries production
Japan’s inland fisheries sector peaked at 231kt in 1979 and has been in decline ever since. The latest data shows it has fallen to 23.4% of its peak. This trend may be due to factors such as a decline in inland fishing resources and environmental changes. Another factor is that in recent years, the importance of sustainable fishing has come to be recognized, leading to the strengthening of fishing restrictions and fisheries management. The decline in inland fisheries is affecting local economies and fishing-related industries, and in light of this, there is a need to formulate and implement sustainable fisheries policies.
The maximum is 231kt[1979] of Total, and the current value is about 23.4%
River fisheries production statistics survey
Japan’s inland fisheries for agriculture peaked at 136 kt in 1979 and has been on a downward trend since then. The latest data shows it has fallen to 16.6% of its peak. This trend may be due to a decline in inland fishing resources and environmental changes. The decline in fish catches is also affecting local economies and employment related to the fishing industry. To address this situation, efforts are needed to strengthen sustainable fisheries management and restore fishery resources.
The maximum is 136kt[1979] of Fishing, and the current value is about 16.6%
Statistical survey of inland water aquaculture production
Japan’s inland aquaculture industry achieved a record of 98.7 kt in 1979, the most recent year for which data is available. Aquaculture plays an important role in seafood production, with average catches remaining stable at 98.7k t. This stable production volume demonstrates that Japan’s fisheries industry is receiving support from advances in aquaculture technology and fisheries policies. Inland aquaculture has the potential to flexibly respond to problems such as changes in the marine environment and resource depletion, and contributes to the development of a sustainable fishing industry.
The maximum is 98.7kt[1988] of Aquaculture, and the current value is about 31.9%
