1. SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING EXPLOITATION AND MANAGEMENT OF TOPPREDATORS Ｐ．　Ｍ．　Ｍｉｙａｋｅ

2. Exploitation Managements • Biological (including echo-system and stocks) environment • Oceanographic (physiochemical) environment • Fishery and management policy • Socio-economic

3. Exploitation Managements • Biological (including echo-system and stocks) environment • Oceanographic (physiochemical) environment • Fishery and management policy • Socio-economic

4. Fisheries

5. Historical catch by fishing gears

6. Major technological changes in fishing • Longline • Super-freezer • Deep setting • Shift from Large to small boats • Pole and line • Forced water circulation • Introduction of freezer • Purse seine • Increasing holding-capacity • Bird rader • Development of FAD fishing

7. Increasing small longline catch

8. Increasing Fishing Capacity(particularly of large seiners)

9. Major economical changes in fishing • Vessel construction cost (Negative?) • Fish price and demand (Positive?) • Reduction of cost from landing to consumers’ market • Operating cost (fuel, labor, material, bait, etc.) • Increasing coastal states right • Cost for management (observers, VMS, various mitigation procedures, etc)

10. Fuel price

11. Recent changes in fisheries • Recent increase in purse seine fishing capacity and consequently in catch • Shift from large fish to small fish • Reduction of Y/R and AMSY • Increase in coastal fisheries (particularly of small longliners)

12. Impact of various gears on stock

13. Processing

14. Tuna (mt) used for canning and sashimi

15. Import price for canning and sashimi

16. Tuna product (in processed wght) share

17. Canned tuna producing countries

19. Sashimi market

21. Problems with trade data • No reliable world statistics for a long period. • Fresh, chilled or frozen tunas are given in processed weight but how processed is not given. • Fresh, chilled or frozen tuna are in wet weight, but the canned product is in canned net weight. • Exports, imports, productions and re-exports are often inconsistent. • Fresh, chilled or frozen tunas can be used for canning or fresh fish market. • Canned tuna may include other species than major tunas (e.g. bonitos)..

22. Canned tuna exports by cotinents

23. Consumption • No reliable world statistics for a long period. • Consumptions are calculated as balance: • Production + Import - Export – Reexport -

24. Consumption of canned tuna by continents

25. Consumption of fresh, chilled and frozen tuna by continents

26. Other socio-economic elements • Eco-system approach for fishery managements • Evaluation of target species population • Evaluation of impact of fisheries to the entire eco-system. • Evaluation of influence of eco-system to target species.

27. Farming

28. Development of tuna farming

29. Japanese import of farmed tuna

30. Positive sides of farming • Add values to the captured fish.Price-rise for many bait fish and hence economical gains for other local fisheries. • Increase job opportunities in farming areas. • Provide fat meat of tuna to the market in a large quantity and relatively low price. • Provide high valued tuna on constant basis. • Stabilized tuna as an important trade commodity.

31. Negative sides of farming • Uncertainties in quantity, area, time and size of fish of catches increased (possible tuna laundering.) • Excessive exploitation of bluefin stocks. • Tuna price in the Japanese market collapsed and lead many fishers to economic difficulties. • Collapsed people’s taste bud (author’s opinion). • Possible sanitary problem? • Negative effects on environment? • Introduction of new parasites or disease by baitfish?

32. Production of farmed tuna vs. catch

33. Japanese domestic and import BFTs

34. Japanese price and quantity of Med. BFT
