Abstract

In Japan, many fishing households practice capture fishing and the farming of fish, shellfish and seaweed. All of them are members of the local Fisheries Cooperative Association (FCA). FCAs play multiple roles for the fishing community. They manage fishing and aquaculture within a few miles from the coast; provide many services to members, including input supplies and accounting; and they help with the marketing of products. FCAs are grouped into refectural and national level federations.
