The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Government of Japan funded this Project. The Phase Two was implemented during 10-19 September 2006 in Tokyo and Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. A total of 11 trainees from the Philippines and one advisor participated in Phase Two. I would like to express my thanks to all the resource persons as well as the organizations, which received the trainees during the course of the Phase Two. Particularly, I would like to mention my thanks to: - Ms Reiko Inoue, Director of International Cooperation Division, International Affairs Department, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Government of Japan; - Mr Akinori Kanashiro, Chief, Fishery Section, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department, Prefecture Government of Okinawa; - Mr Toshihiko Shimoji, President, Okinawa Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations; - Mr Hiroshi Kohagura, President, Nago FCA (Fisheries Cooperative Association); - Mr Atsushi Shokita, President, Nakijin FCA; - Mr Masashi Takagi, Director, Okinawa Prefecture Sea Farming Center; and all others for their cooperation to make the Phase Two of the Training Project for Promotion of Community-based Fishery Resource Management by Coastal Small-scale Fishers in the Philippines a success. I hope that, by taking stock of the information and experience gained from Phase Two of the Project, the final Phase Three that is a seminar on fisheries resource management in the Philippines will be able to produce meaningful recommendations for improvement of fisheries resource management in the Philippines. Shoji Uemura Chairman International Cooperative Fisheries Organization 30 November, 2006 of the International Cooperative Alliance iii iv Acknowledgement he cooperation and assistance provided by the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, T Forestry and Fisheries, Government of Japan; National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Association of Japan (JF ZENGYOREN); Professor Junichiro Okamoto, Hokkaido University; Tokyo Metropolitan Wholesale Market (Tsukiji); Government of Okinawa Prefectural; Research Institute of Sub-tropics; Okinawa Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Association (Okinawa KEN GYOREN); Okinawa Prefectural Sea Farming Centre; Churaumi Aquarium; Okinawa Local Wholesale Fish Market; Fisheries Cooperative Associations of Nago and Nakijin and Yanbaru Bussan Centre (Direct Marketing Outlet) is deeply acknowledged. v vi Contents Page Preface iii Acknowledgement v 1.0 Introduction 1 2.0 Activities 3 3.0 Observations and Suggestions by the Participants 37 4.0 Preparations for Phase Three 45 Annexure 1 49 Annexure 2 51 Annexure 3 57 Annexure 4 61 Annexure 5 63 Annexure 6 67 Annexure 7 81 Annexure 8 83 Annexure 9 85 Annexure 10 91 vii viii Chapter 1.0 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background he objective of Phase Two of the Project (Study-cum-training) is to provide the T participants with the opportunity to expose themselves to fisheries resource management system in Japan, by making visits to Central Government (Fishery Agency), Prefectural Government of Okinawa, Okinawa Prefectural Sea Farming Center, National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations (FCAs), Okinawa Prefectural Federation of FCAs, local FCAs in Okinawa, Tokyo Central Wholesale Fish Market at Tsukiji, Local Wholesale Fish Market at Naha, and FCAs and their Fish Markets, etc. Through these exposures, it is intended to help the participants understand Japan’s framework of community-based fisheries resource management, co-management and the role of FCAs. By studying success and failure stories on fisheries resource management in Japan, particularly in Okinawa Prefecture, where climate and marine ecological conditions are similar to those of the Philippines, it is expected that the participants will be able to gain experience and contribute in the formulation of policies and programmes related to fisheries resource management, that would fit the Philippine situation in the future. In view of the fact that the role of fisheries cooperatives relative to fisheries resource management is a key from Japanese experiences, methods of empowerment of fisheries cooperatives shall also be considered. Thus, Phase Two is also intended to help for the preparation of a Terminal Project Seminar in Phase Three, scheduled during February 2007 in the Philippines. 1.2 List of Participants and Advisor The Study-cum-training visit was attended by 11 participants, which included officials of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources; Cooperatives and the Province of Palawan. A list of Participants and Advisor with their full contact details is placed at Annexure 1. 1.3 Itinerary The actually followed itinerary is placed at Annexure 2. 1 Community-based Fishery Resource Management – Report of Phase Two 2 Chapter 2.0 2.0 Activities 2.1 Day One (11September 2006) he Opening Ceremony of the Training Project for Promotion of Community-based T Fishery Resource Management by Coastal Small-scale Fishers in the Philippines was held at the Chu-Kaigi-Shitsu (Meeting Room) of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Association of Japan (JF ZENGYOREN), Seventh Floor, Cooperative Building, 1-1-12 Uchikanda, Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo, Japan. The Opening Ceremony began with the self-introduction of the participants and the advisors, followed by the welcome address of Mr Shoji Uemura, Chairman, International Cooperative Fisheries Organization (ICFO) of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and President of JF - ZENGYOREN, which was read by Mr Masaaki Sato, Secretary, ICFO. Mr Uemura thanked the participants on behalf of the ICFO for taking part in the Fisheries Management Study-cum-training visit in Japan. He also referred to the Economic Partnership Agreement signed by Mr Junichiro Koizumi, Prime Minister of Japan and Ms Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Philippines on 09 September 2006 prior to the ASEM Summit held in Helsinki, Finland on 10-11 September 2006. This Agreement is expected to further strengthen the relationship of the two countries and will also foster exchange of people between Japan and the Philippines. Mr Uemura hoped that through this Phase Two Study-cum-training visit in Japan, the participants would be able to learn many things, which would lead to meet the objectives of sustainable fisheries development and management in the Philippines. The full text of Mr Uemura’s speech is placed at Annexure 3. Ms Ryuko Inoue, Director, International Cooperation Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), Government of Japan presided over the Opening Ceremony and in her address welcomed the participants from the Philippines. She said that MAFF has contributed funds to ICFO to hold seminars, which aim at organizing and strengthening fishery cooperatives in Asian countries since 1987. The decrease of fishery resources in most parts of the world has been a serious issue and it can be said that over fishing is the main cause of this problem. The increasing demand for fishmeal and increasing awareness of fish as a healthy food item has further added to the decline of fish stocks. Therefore, it is essential to maintain or restore fishery stocks to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield for the global population. From this viewpoint, MAFF has contributed funds for a new ICFO project to implement fishery resource management activities and this project will continue for five years. Ms Inoue said that since Japan and the Philippines have some similarities, both ICFO and MAFF agreed to begin the Project from the Philippines. She also acknowledged ICFO for appropriate implementation of the training course, and dispatching of experts to Philippines in Phase One of the Project. The full text of Ms Inoue’s address is placed at Annexure 4. In conclusion of the Opening Ceremony, Mr Masaaki Sato gave a brief orientation on the activities to be carried out under Phase Two of the Project and the arrangements made for the successful conduct of the programme in Tokyo and the Prefecture of Okinawa. He also briefly explained the documents that were provided to the participants for better understanding of the fisheries sector of Japan, especially

  • The Ikei Islanders : Fishing Practices in an Okinawan Coral Ecosystem
    The Ikei Islanders : Fishing Practices in an Okinawan Coral Ecosystem 著者 "TAKEDA Jun" journal or 南太平洋研究=South Pacific Study publication title volume 13 number 2 page range 211-234 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10232/15571 South Pacific Study Vol. 13, No. 2, 1993 The Ikei Islanders: Fishing Practices in an Okinawan Coral Ecosystem Jun Takeda* Abstract Many fishing villages, not only in the northeastern part of the main island of Okinawa but all along the Ryukyu Archipelago have to some extent been socio-economically influenced by the Itoman fishermen. There are individuals in many of these fishing societies who brought back fishing techniques which they gained from working as hired hands for the Itoman fishermen. Ikei Island, however, experienced none of that return, and unlike much of the rest of the archipelago, where pale imitations of Itoman-style fishing techniques exist, the Ikei fishing methods remain strongly traditional. In short, Ikei is fun damentally unlike other islands such as the Yaeyama islands that were basically settled by Itoman fishermen. This paper explores the extent to which pre-specialized fishing methods on Ikei were governed by the naturally occuring ecological constraints, and the extent to which these earlier habits have been preserved in what is today a predominantly fishing and farming village, relatively free of the influence of Itoman fishing techniques. Changes from the pre-war years to the present day and whether or not the traditional techniques are likely to survive are also discussed. Key words: Ikei Islanders, Okinawan fishermen, Fishing-and-farming subsistence strategy, Traditional fishing practices, Coral reefs Introduction The three islands of Henza, Miyagi and Ikei are situated northeast of the Yokatsu Peninsula in such a way as to be the boundary between the baysof Nakagusaku and Kin (Fig.

Zoological Studies 50(5): 611-635. Six species of copepods belonging to the Lernanthropidae Kabata, 1979 were found parasitic on the gill filaments of 6 species of marine fishes of Taiwan. They are: Lernanthropodes chorinemi Pillai, 1962 on Scomberoides commersonnianus Lacepède (Carangidae); Lernanthropodes trachinoti Pillai, 1962 on Trachinotus blochii (Lacepède) (Carangidae); Lernanthropus incilis sp. nov. on Evoxymetopon poeyi Günther (Trichiuridae); Mitrapus heteropodus (Yü 1933) on Nematalosa nasus (Bloch) (Clupeidae); Sagum epinepheli (Yamaguti et Yamasu, 1960) on Epinephelus awoara (Temminck et Schlegel) (Serranidae); and Sagum folium sp. nov. on Paracaesio caerulea (Katayama) (Lutjanidae). Aside from the 2 new species, the other 4 known species were recorded for the 1st time from Taiwan. A key to the 18 species of lernanthropids occurring on marine fishes of Taiwan is provided. In this paper we propose treating Mitrapus rubiginosus (Redkar, Rangnekar et Murti 1949) as a junior synonym of M. heteropodus. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/50.5/611.pdf Key words: Lernanthropidae, Parasitic copepods, Taiwan, Marine fish.
