Outline of Research at the Start |
This research examines the rapidly developing aquaculture of salmon and its impacts on Japans society and environment. While the bulk of previous studies have focused on cost efficiency, little has been studied about the social and ecological implications of salmon aquaculture. We see aquaculture as a socio-economic enterprise that disconnects salmon from their native ecology through the technology of enclosures. By employing SES analysis, we investigate how the enclosure of a particular species influence the resilience and sustainability of existing ecological systems.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In 2022, we worked on the two main areas of research. First, we began to write a research paper to understand how the strategies of resources control and management including salmon shape the landscape and social relations in Hokkaido. This paper, based on research findings from the previous years, explores the relationship between territorialization and resource control from the seventeenth to the twentieth century in Hokkaido. We submitted our first draft to a leading journal in the field (the current status: invited for revise and resubmit). Secondly, we continued to compile data on salmon aquaculture in the database. We held several meetings to discuss the state of salmon aquaculture in Japan and continued to gather materials concerning wild and farmed salmonid species in Japan. We also analyzed policies on fishery, wildlife protection, and other related fields.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
While some parts of businesses began to go back to normal from October 2022, we could not schedule visits to any field sites due to uncertainties and risks of infection. This situation delayed the progress of our research.
|
Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the final year, we plan to expedite the research, to conduct fieldwork, and to carry out archival research in key locations related to salmon hatcheries, processing, and farming.
