Abstract

<p>The aim of this paper was to reveal how factors affect fishery activities, including gill net, basket fishing and trawling, in Fuke district, Misaki town, Osaka prefecture. In fieldwork, the author used the “Fixed Spot Method”, one of the time allocation methods. As a result, the author made it clear that management bodies conducted fishery activities that were affected by: 1) tidal pattern 2) wind force and direction, and 3) sunrise time, as natural factors. On the other hand, social and economic factors included: 1) fisheries activity time regulations and 2) the starting time of the auction. Preparing quantitative data regarding fishery activities is important for formulating aquatic resource management plans for sustainable use. The Fixed Spot Method is effective to capture all boat activities in one port. However, there are some problems. For example, the study results are easily influenced by accidental events, because of the short study period. We should overcome the problem through the development of new methods for fieldwork.</p>
