Production is about 500 thousand tons per year with the value reaching about 840 million USD. The main operational areas of scallop culture are Saroma Lake, Sea of Okhotsk and Funka Bay, Hokkaido and Mutsu Bay, Honshu. The success of scallop farming can be partly attributed to the ideal habitat and environment provided by these waters for the growth and survival of scallops. With the development of Geographical Information System (GIS) Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) for scallop suitability sites in Funka Bay and the preliminary Mutsu Bay (studied herein) spatial-temporal scallop aquaculture models, any differences in aquaculture sites and performance are likely to be related to changes in the marine environment.

Issued 21 July 2004 Isopod crustaceans collected from Aomori Prefecture Northern Japan Noboru NUNOMURA Toyama Science Museum, Nishi nakano-machi, Toyama, 939-8084, Japan ABSTRACr A total of 17 marine, a freshwater and 10 terrestrial isopod crustaceans were reported from Aomori Prefecture. And many of them are considered to be warrn elements. Among them, a new species of gnathiid isopod crustacean is described as Gnathia mutsuensis, based on single male specimen. KEY WORDS Isopoda / Gnathiidea / new species / Gnathia mutsuensis / Aomori / Mutsu Bay Introduction The taxonomy on isopod crustaceans has hitherto been ignored in Aomori Prefecture. Therefore, I carried out faunal surveys of marine isopods including splash zones and shore forests at several areas along the coast of Mutsu Bay, Aomori Prefecture in the summer of 1983 and in fall of 1984 (Fig. 1). Adding these, a series of specimens of isopod crustaceans were at my disposal for my study and identification through the courtesy of Dr. Makoto Tsuchiya of Asamushi Marine Biological Station. As to the terrestrial species, I could examine several samples collected from the areas around the Mt. Iwaki, which had been sent from Prof. Yoshiaki Nishikawa. Besides the above-mentioned specimens, I could examine specimens sent from some other scientists.

  • Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku)
    TM Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku) Tōhoku Vorwort Selbst Besuchern, die schon in Japan waren, ist die Region Tōhoku, die den nördlichen Teil der Hauptinsel Honshū umfasst, oft gänzlich unbekannt. Dabei findet man hier all das, was Japan so faszinierend macht, und zudem ohne Besuchermassen. Bis vor kurzem war der Norden Honshūs tatsächlich schwierig zu bereisen – die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel waren nicht so gut ausgebaut wie im südlichen Teil von Honshū, und auch die englisch- sprachige Ausschilderung ließ noch zu wünschen übrig. Dies alles ist nun im Vorfeld der Olympischen Sommerspiele in Tokio 2020 in Angriff genommen worden. Tōhoku begeistert mit großartigen Landschaften wie den Heiligen Drei Bergen Dewa San- zan in Yamagata, der berühmten Bucht von Matsushima nahe der Stadt Sendai, oder mit der Mondlandschaft um den Vulkan Osorezan. Für kulturell Interessierte bieten die UNESCO Weltkulturerbe-Stätten von Hiraizumi einen Einblick in vergangene Feudalzei- ten. Zahlreiche Feste wie das berühmte Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori oder das Reiter-Festi- val Soma Nomaoi locken jedes Jahr zigtausende Besucher in die Region. FASZINIEREND — BUNT — JAPAN Kurz: es gibt hier Vieles zu entdecken in einer bisher wenig besuchten Region Japans. Das findet inzwischen auch Lonely Planet: für das Jahr 2020 steht Tōhoku an dritter Stelle WIR FLIEGEN SIE HIN! unter den vom Lonely Planet an Top 10 gesetzten Regionen weltweit.
