As a result of the policy of the Satsuma feudal clan of the Edo period for promoting sugar production, the industrial activities in Amami Islands were limited by sugar-cane farming. Commercial fisheries in this area started since the beginning of Meiji era and has been affected by two different types of fisheries, the skipjack-angling fisheries from the northern area (Japan proper), and the "Itoman" fisheries from the southern area (Okinawa Prefecture). Southern Amami area is not only near to the north of Okinawa Prefecture, but is also restricted by natural conditions for skipjack-angling fisheries. Therefore, commercial fisheries is dominated by "Itoman" fisheries. The structure of "Itoman" fisheries in these islands is closely connected with the fishermen of Yoron Island. The drive-in-net fisheries is managed by fishermen from "Itoman" fishing community and then operated by Yoron fishermen who had been trained by "Itoman" fishermen since the beginning of Showa era. Therefore, the drive-in-net fisheries in the southern region of Amami Islands is characterized by the changes of management from the type of apprentice system depending upon the laborers called "yatoinguwa" to the type of village community which depends upon the laborers with kinship and rural relationship in the fishing community.}, pages = {201--223}, title = {戦前・戦後の奄美南部三島における追込網漁業の変遷}, volume = {39}, year = {} }
