| Research Abstract |
By-catch problem of marine animals in fisheries has developed to global issue. This problem is regard as the one of the factors of population decrement for endangered sea turtles. In this project, I had a research on the habitat utilization and home range of green sea turtles in Yaeyama Islands using high-accuracy Bio-logging method. Next, we investigated the overlap area between sea turtles' habitat and deployment area of set-net, and then considered the by-catch risk of sea turtles and segregation between sea turtles and fisheries.
