After the war, from about 1951 - 1952, this work has been recommenced with Government aid. In Aichi Prefecture, since 1952, by construction work using large construction machines and by establishment of break water fences from 1957 as well as the work of moving stones and making fish nesting areas, the improvement and construction of fishing grounds has been conducted mainly for those fishing grounds with demarcated fishing rights such as laver fisheries, and common fishing grounds such as those for short-necked clams. When attempting this work, if such • fundamental factors as what constitutes good fishing grounds' 3 in shallow sea or a what conditions the fishing grounds should fulfil are not apparent, the methods of construction and improvement cannot be (71termined. Therefore, first of all, our understanding of these factors will be described. 1 Features of Shallow Sea Fishing Grounds 1) Wind and Waves and the Situation of Fishing Grounds When the mixing of water and regeneration of quality .of water in a fishing ground are considered, the more violent the wind and waves are, the better it should be, providing there is no disadvantage such ns the destruction of cultivating facilities by wind and waves. Considering the growth of levers, in a calm water mass the water around the thallus tends to become isolated from other water and this adversely affects the living conditions of the laver. Violent water currents or wind and waves prevent this because they are effective in dispersing the water around the laver. In this regard, the aspect directions of shallow sea fishing grounds are deter- mined naturally. In the case of laver , fishing grounds facing west, north-west and north, which get the winter seasonal wind, are good. 2) Depth Firstly, as to the sea depth, only the coastal slopes of the continental shelf •rd shallower depths are considered, giving 4 regard to the range in which earthworking can be done construc- tively. As the sea depth is dependent upon the height of the ground of the sea bed,when cultivating facilities are to be made, and if the species to be cultivated are ones which live in the intertidal zone such as laver, short-necked clams, oysters etc., the height of ground where these will grow in the sea bed is determined naturally. Regarding this, the height of these grounds in shallow sea is determined by tides. In other words, the standards vary from place to place with 5. the local tidel- c/-1,treen*. These are shown in the following table of figures based on Mikawa Bay and standards of the Tide Tables published by the Incorporated Foundation of the Weather Forcasting Association. 0 t G) Nagoya.

The tolerance levels for chlorine are wide. Unless organic matter is lower than B.O.D. 3.0 p.p.m, it is difficult to say whether the fishing ground will be stable. The turbidity of the water is questionable. Concerning laver, if a gill net suspended vertically from stakes so that it floats in the water, is used for laver culture, laver will not grow on that part of the gill net which is a little lower than the water surface; This depth below the water sur- face varies according to the location (waves, tide), season, and the turbidity in the fishing ground. Concerning differences in the times cf year, before and after the winter solstice it is best to put laver on the water surface because at that time, the amount of sunlight is the least. Moreover, as the • laver are thought to undergo nutritive propagation until this time of year, the superiority or inferiority of the usual horizontally fixed cultivating grounds alne decided by the turbidity of the water. 4) Currents The current inside shallow sea bays is mainly tidal ont, accompanied by bay and river currents and current due to the weather. Since the tidal current is the main one, this bay current flows with both the ebb tide and the high tide. If the topography of a fishing ground is a wide tidal flat without any obstruction and the sea bed is flat, the 6 current repeats such movements as flowing towards the offing at the time of the ebb tide, and being compressed towards the shore at the time of high tide, as a whole water mass. Therefore, as is shown in Figure 1, especially when the tide movement is small such as the time of a neap tide, each 2 supposed constituent part of the water mass repeats such move- ments as going out towards the off-shore and compressing towards the coast, whilst they maintain their own relative positions. In other words, in such shallow seas, outwardly the current seems to be flowing considerably, but as they are maintaining the situation of horizontal order, the rate at which the water layers mix together is very low. The degree of stability in this sense -- the horizontal stability e2xJ:DY___ of the water -- varies according to the magnitude of the spring or neap tides as well as the shape of the shallow sea bed, and the type of geographical features. Therefore, it is thought that shallow seas can be divided into the following three classifications. (1) The area where both the high tidal current and ebb tidal current Ï 1 ii., „;;J. • flow in the same direction or only Figure 1.

It is, however, difficult to understand the overall tectonic character of the 24 region due to the thick sediments in this region. We estimated the depth and the structure of 25 the basement top in the Mikawa Bay Region through the analysis of gravity data, compiling 26 publicly available gravity data and our own gravity measurements in the central part of the 27 region. The gravity basement map shows the deepening of the basement top from the 28 Nishi-Mikawa Plain to the Chita Peninsula. Two-dimensional modeling constrains the 29 orientation of the Utsumi and Takahama faults. The fact that the basement top structure 30 related to the Kou Fault is insignificant in the gravity data indicates that the geometry of the 31 Kou Fault is small relative to that of the Utsumi Fault. The basement top structure from the 32 Nishi-Mikawa Plain to the Chita Peninsula reveals a half graben structure bounded by the 33 Utsumi Fault.

  • Half-Graben Inversion Tectonics Revealed by Gravity Modeling in the Mikawa Bay Region, Central Japan Ayumu Miyakawa* , Tomoya Abe, Tatsuya Sumita and Makoto Otsubo
    Miyakawa et al. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2020) 7:63 Progress in Earth and https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-020-00376-6 Planetary Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Half-graben inversion tectonics revealed by gravity modeling in the Mikawa Bay Region, Central Japan Ayumu Miyakawa* , Tomoya Abe, Tatsuya Sumita and Makoto Otsubo Abstract The Mikawa Bay Region, central Japan, is characterized by many active faults recording Quaternary activities. It is, however, difficult to understand the overall tectonic character of the region due to a thick sedimentary cover. We report the first finding of Neogene basin inversion in southwest Japan by estimating the depth and structure of the basement surface in the Mikawa Bay Region by analyzing gravity data. Our gravity basement map and two- dimensional density-structure model automatically determined using the genetic algorithm revealed a half-graben bounded on the south by the north-dipping Utsumi Fault. The motion of the Utsumi Fault, which inverted from normal faulting during the Miocene to recent reverse faulting, indicated the inversion of the half-graben. The timing of the inversion of the fault motion, i.e., the reverse faulting of the Miocene normal fault, can be compared with an episode of basin inversion observed at the eastern margin of the Japan Sea, northeastern Japan. The Takahama Fault in the southwestern part of the Nishi–Mikawa Plain is considered to have formed as a result of the backthrust of the Utsumi Fault under inversion tectonics. If the Takahama Fault is indeed the backthrust fault of the Utsumi Fault, the root of the Takahama Fault may be deep such that the Takahama Fault is seismogenic and linked to the 1945 Mikawa earthquake.
