Marine Coexistence Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores the past and present of the fisheries industry by looking at the people who work in fishing and at national policy.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading fisheries through its workers and national policy.
The Sasaki Lab studies the relationship between the fisheries industry and society from the perspectives of fisheries economics and vocational education.
It clarifies the actual working conditions of people in the fisheries industry and considers better labor environments so that the industry can become sustainable.
It also investigates how fishing vessels operate in the waters around Japan, and considers sustainable fisheries production in seas where nations compete with one another.
Its research spans eras, from the history of modern fisheries education to today's fisheries supported by foreign crew members.
Key terms
- Fisheries economics
- A field that studies fishing and the fisheries industry in terms of money flows, workers, institutions, and policies
- Distant-water fishing
- Fishing in which vessels travel far from Japan, to waters near foreign countries or the high seas, and spend long periods catching fish
- Technical Intern Training Program
- A national system intended to let foreign nationals acquire skills while working at workplaces in Japan

ResearchResearch themes
The lab clarifies the actual labor conditions of people working in the fisheries industry and the actual operations of fishing vessels in the waters around Japan, and considers pathways toward a sustainable fisheries industry. It studies the relationship between fisheries and national policy from the perspectives of both modern and contemporary history.
*Illustrative imageFisheries and National Policy in Modern History
The lab traces the development of Japanese fisheries in relation to the policies of shokusan kogyo (promotion of industry) and fukoku kyohei (enriching the country and strengthening the military) from the Meiji era onward. It has shown that modern Japanese fisheries education was inseparable from the national policy of training people for distant-water fishing.
*Illustrative imageMilitary Bases, Territorial Disputes, and Fisheries
Focusing on the relationship between contemporary security policy and fisheries, the lab studies military base issues involving sea reclamation, as well as issues in the East China Sea and South China Sea. It analyzes fisheries in border waters from three perspectives: sovereignty, national power, and law.
*Illustrative imagePeople Working in Fishing and Seafood Processing
As the number of fishery workers falls sharply and the workforce ages, reliance on foreign workers is deepening. Focusing on Indonesian crew members on Japanese fishing vessels, the lab has described how the Technical Intern Training Program ties young people to Japanese fishing boats.
