Joint Research (Type IV）
Comparative Study on Fisheries Resources Utilization and Management in
Southeast Asia
Project Leader: ISHIKAWA, Satoshi, School of Marine Science and Technology,
Tokai University
（Term：2010 - 2011）
- Joint Seminars in 2010-2011 Fiscal Year
- Outline of Joint Research
- In this research, we will conduct field surveys and hold some seminars
and workshops at Rayong in Thailand and Panay Island in the Philippines,
in order to grasp the utilization of fisheries resources by local people
and gather the information of livelihood of these areas. Based on this
data and information, we will consult with the local people and researchers
to understand important key factors for rational and applicable resource
management including users’ viewpoints.
- Purpose of Joint Research
-
In southeast Asia, people utilize the same fish species as fishery resources
over a wide area. However, fishing gear, post harvest treatment, the importance
of fisheries products and management manners of fisheries resources are
different among local areas.
- Fisheries resources have several unique features including migratory, pooled
in commons, and uncertainness of property. Therefore, for establishing
rational and applicable resource management measures, identifying stakeholders
and understanding the fisheries resources for each stakeholder are necessary.
In this research, we will conduct field survey and information collection
in the Rayong area in the Thailand and Panay Island in the Philippines,
where we will try to grasp the concrete figures of current and past utilization
of resources. Then we will clarify the key factors for the establishment
of applicable and rational fisheries resource managements from users’ viewpoints,
through adialogue with local people and consultation with researchers who
have various academic backgrounds.
- It is expected that this set of information and the list of key factors
can show some important aspects for future fisheries management in the
Southeast Asia.
