I found a solution to resolve this problem which is the closed circulatory culture system on land. There is actual abalone farm that conducting these system in OH Island, Yahatahama City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Although there are many benefits of using this system, competitive price could be a problem. Abalone imports rapidly increased over decade and has encroached upon the abalone market in Japan. Therefore cost reduction is the most important task. Keywords: Remote Island, Abalone Farming, Grants-in-Aid Program 1.

  • 26. Chrome Garnet from the Vicinity of Nukabira Mine, Hidaka Province, Hokkaido, Japan
    No. 2] Proc. Japan Acad., 45 (1969) 109 26. Chrome Garnet from the Vicinity of Nukabira Mine, Hidaka Province, Hokkaido, Japan By Takeo BAMBA,*'Kenzo YAGI,**>and Kenjiro MAEDA***) (Comm. by Jun SuzuKi, M.J. A., Feb. 12, 1969) Introduction. Uvarovites or chrome garnets are of restricted occurrence, and are found only in special geologic environments, such as ultra-mafic rocks or some metamorphic rocks. In Japan chrome garnets only from Ochi, Kochi Prefecture (Ikawa, 1935; Harada,1943) and Akaishi Mine, Ehime Prefecture (Kitahara, 1951) have been described mineralogically and analyzed chemically. In the summer of 1967, during their field survey of the ultra- mafic rocks developed along the Nukabira river in Hidaka mountains, the present authors found several specimen of beautiful emerald green veins developed in rodingite mass, associated with the serpen- tine. Under the microscope the veins were found to consist mainly of grossularite, associated with minor amounts of chrome garnet. Mineralogical study on this chrome garnet is given here. Mode of Occurrence. These chrome garnet-bearing veins occur in the rodingite cutting through the serpentine mass in the upper stream of Pankehayushininara river, a tributary of Nukabira river. The geology of this district belongs to the so-called Kamuikotan metamorphic belt, and is composed of pre-Cretaceous sediments (schalstein, slate, limestone), and spilitized pillow lavas, probably of Jurassic age, intruded by serpentine and fresh peridotite as shown in Fig. 1 (Bamba, 1963). In the eastern part, Cretaceous sediments are developed, covering the older formations. Numerous chromite ore deposits, some of which were mined for many years, have been known in this serpentine mass, especially along the marginal parts of the main mass, which probably represents the higher "niveau" of the intrusion tectonic (Bamba, 1963).
