| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fishing communities in the northern Tohoku were severely affected by March 11 2011 tsunami by the Great Tohoku Earthquake. The off-shore longline fishery in Kesennuma, which mainly target swordfish and blue shark, was one of the few survived fishing vessel groups and has significant economic effects of this community due to the integrated operations of the local processing industries. From April 2012, their operations have shifted to group operations (“Syudan Sougyou”) from individual operations (“Kojin Sougyou”) to optimize the production by sharing information and the cost sharing under one of the national fishery recovery initiatives. This study evaluates the efficiency of their group operations by analyzing the integrated data set of log-book (i.e., catch location, fuel consumption, operational costs) and detailed daily market data of their landings (i.e., price, size). This study aims implications for their future strategies for the recovery.
