Description:
An understanding of those factors which have limited the development
of Japanese aquaculture may have some applications to the problems
of aquaculture in developing countries. The history of aquaculture
in Japan is reviewed from chronological, geographical, species and
institutional points of view. Conclusions reached in this study reveal
that throughout the history of Japan aquaculture development has been
limited by variables which can be identified. The most important factor
is the existence of leadership which coordinates supply and demand,
environmental suitability, technical capability, legality, experience,
infrastructure and social welfare incentives with economic feasibility.
The development of aquaculture depends on simultaneous development of all
these factors, not on the preponderance of any one of them. Within the
framework of this generalization, issues pertaining to aquaculture development
in developing countries could be handled by adaptation to local
conditions.
