Research Abstract |
Japanese pelagic fishery has been in a state of a crisis for a number of problems both at home and abroad. Fishing companies has suffered from lack of Japanese youth workers, the ratification of a 200-nautical-mile exclusive fishing zone, keen global competitions for marine resources, and so on. The ship-owners need for low cost labor force to operate their companies. In recent years, overseas fishermen has quite increased and exceeded Japanese crew in number on vessels. Fishing companies are dependent on contract fishermen from Indonesia and Kiribati. Then, multicultural circumstances have inevitably emerged on pelagic fishing vessels. It seems as if multicultural coexistence turned out well, because there are few frictions among different cultural members. But in fact, they do not mingle with each other, except under the necessary cooperative fishing work. It is noninventionalist or civil inattentive attitudes that make multicultural coexistence tranquil superficially on vessels.
