Progress of production of hatchery-raised juveniles and restocking in Japan
Brief History of Stock Enhancement in Japan
1961 The Japan Fisheries Agency established a plan to promote coastalfisheries by stock enhancement.
1962 The Seto Inland Sea was selected as a model littoral zone for stock enhancement.
1963 The Seto Inland Sea Fish Farming Association (SISFA) was established as the base of operation for intended technological development by commission from the government.
1979 SISFA was reorganized and renamed the Japan Sea-Farming Association (JASFA).
2003 JASFA was united to Fisheries Research Agency, and renamed National Center for Stock Enhancement (NCSE).
2006 6 NCSE were united to 4 Regional Fisheries Research Institutes of FRA.
Brief History of Stock Enhancement in Japan (2)
By the late 1970s The technology of artificial seed production of finfish had been established in Japan.
Hatchery-raised seed play an important role in supplying seedlings to aquaculture. Hatchery-raised seed supply most of the demands of aquaculture;
Red sea bream Pagrus major, Ocellate puffer Takifugu rubripes,striped jack Pseudocaranx dentex, Japanese flounder Paralichtys olivaceus, and Kuruma prawn Penaeus japonicus

II. Procedure and technology needed for restocking
A case study on the Kuruma Prawn
Objective of Stock-enhancement of Kuruma prawn in Japan
• Recovering of the decreasing of catch
• To maintain a suitable catch level for fishermen
• The decreasing of catch in the 1960s were caused by land reclamations for development of industries.
• Necessarity of socio-economic analysis of the area
• We have realized to improve the minimum annual catch level to maintain the mean annual catch level by restocking (Lake Hamana-ko)
Objective-Recovering of the decreasing of catch
• Importance of clarifying causes the decreasing of catch
• Is it able to recover the stock by restocking?
- It should be dependent on the cause of the decreasing of catch
• The life cycle study of black tiger prawn in the target area is essential.
• In Japan, the catch decreasing of Kruma prawn were caused by land reclamation. It means that land reclamation destroy the nursery ground, and cut off the habitat sequence of Kuruma prawn.
Objective - To maintain a suitable catch level for fishermen
• To clarify the socio-economic role of the target species in the area
• It should be essential to establish the ideal annual catch level
• I analyzed the economic role of the Kuruma prawn in the Hamana-ko district.
• I determined the suitable annual catch level as 67t, and 47t as minimum annual catch level, depending on the protocol with the Hamana Fishermen's Cooperation Association. It was necessary to introduce 20 million hatchery-raised Kuruma prawn juvenile with BL 15mm per year.

Introducing Mortality in Acclimation
• Severe Mortality occurred at post-introducing to the nursery for acclimation - occurring in 24hours after introducing
• Caused by;1. Low quality of hatchery-raised
juvenile 2. Low transportation technique3. Tidal condition at introducing4. Predation
Mortality in Acclimation Procedure
• Usually, mortality in acclimation procedure is lower than Introducing mortality
• Survival rate is depending on the period of acclimation rearing
• To improve acclimation rearing technique; presence of the density dependent effect on growth and mortality
• To evaluate the effect by predation
• To determine the releasing size depending on the ecology of juvenile
Factors for success of stock enhancement
• (1) Releasing technique as an issue of man,
• (2) Quality of fish as an issue of seedlings, and
• (3) The environmental condition as an issue of the field for stock enhancement.
• (1) Development of transportation, acclimation, and releasing technique
• (2) Development of technology on improvement of the fish health and the fish quality
• (3) Improvement of knowledge of fishery biology and ecology
(1) Releasing technique as an issue of man
Development of transportation, acclimation, and releasing technique
Mainly depending on the quality of hatchery-raised seed
Improvement of physiological and ecological characteristics of hatchery-raised seed
(2) Quality of fish as an issue of seedlings
Development of technology on improvement of the fish health and the fish quality
Essential: Standardization of rearing technique under laboratory condition, i.e.,
Growth and survival rates were affected by density dependent effect;Presence of optimum introducing density at mouth opening for red sea bream, Japanese flounder, and etc.
Physiological and ecological characteristics of hatchery-raised juveniles
• Fish health is defined physiological wellness of hatchery-raised juveniles, and
• fish quality is defined ecological robustness of them such as behavioral and feeding activity.
• The fish quality means ability to adapt to natural conditions inreleased environments.
• Fish health must be the prerequisite of the hatchery-raised seed for release. It is measured by physiological and morphological characteristics of fish, i.e. biochemical compositions of body, tolerance of stress in handling and environmental change and morphological normality.
• Fish quality is concerning an aptitude for release. It is the key factor of survival in the field after release and stocking effectiveness.
Fish health and quality as key issue for improvement stocking effectiveness
• The morphological and physiological attributes of the cultured fish together constitute a measure of health and that health combined with behavior represents fish quality.
Fish quality or ecological robustness, is defined as the ability to adapt to natural conditions at release sites.
(3) The environmental condition as key issue for stock enhancement.
Improvement of knowledge of fishery biology and ecology
Relation between Life cycle and environmental conditions;
Planktonic life Settlement;Presence of transitional period
from planktonic to benthic life (Kuruma prawn, Mud crabs, Swimming crab, Japanese flounder)
Presence of drastic change of feeding habits; to omnivorous (red sea bream),fishvorous (Japanese flounder)
Factors affecting the result of acclimation - 1
Effect of size at introduction for acclimation rearing
the relation between mean body length and weight and survival rate during acclimation rearing carried out in the Lake Hamana (Fushimi 1986). Both plots are dome-shaped. The maximum survival rate was attained at a mean body weight of 30-50mg and a mean body length of 14-15 mm. Postlarvae with a BL of 14-15 mm had a body weight of 28.5-32.7mg.
Factors affecting the result of acclimation - 2
Density dependent effect on survival and growth in acclimation procedure
The natural mortality coefficient per 5 days, M5 rose linearly when the density was increased from 100 to 400 individuals per m2, but became asymptotic above 400 individuals per m2. The plot of daily growth rate on rearing density was dome-shaped, with a peak of 1.5 mm per day at 200 to 300 individuals per m2 . Therefore, the optimum density for introduction of seeds to the acclimatization enclosure was determined as 200 to 300 individuals per m2(Fushimi 1983).
Factors affecting the result of acclimation - 3
Effect of predation in acclimation procedure
The mortality due to predation (Mg) was determined using the relationship (M’=M+Mg). M and Mg have the same value when the stocking density is about 170 individuals per m2. Predation by gobies has a more severe effect on survival than density-dependent natural mortality at densities below 170 individuals per m2 .
Release after Acclimation Procedure - 1
• The body size and time of release affected to the recovery rate of released hatchery-raised seeds.
• Conditions affected to establish the strategy of release
• The body size is closely related to development of behavioral characteristics.
• Ability of hatchery, transportation apparatus, environmental conditions of releasing area, acclimation procedure, releasing technique, etc.
• Timing of release –important issue for stocking effectiveness
• The technological development of bloodstock management, especially induced spawning technique. Manipulating temperature and photoperiod for induced spawning.
Release after Acclimation Procedure - 2
How to detect the restocking effectiveness -1
• Restocking effectiveness improve fisheries productivity
• Fundamental information should be fisheries statistics
• It should be essential to develop the fisheries management for improvement of the restocking effectiveness
• Collaboration of fishermen
How to detect the restocking effectiveness -2• Importance of planning
for research on restocking effectiveness – arrow diagram of research should be essential
• Basic research should composed by fishery biology and population dynamics on natural and released populations.
• Components of research; Fisheries statistics, composition of catch, distinguish of cohort, dispersal and migration, growth, natural and fishery mortality, and socio-economics
III. Progress in Production of Hatchery-raised Finfish Juveniles for Stock Enhancement
Hatchery technology in Japan
• Development of larviculture were mainly supported by progress in
• Biological studies on finfish and shellfish nutrition
• Rotifer production technique• Aquaculture industries, such
as plastic equipment, freshwater Chlorella.
• Logistics in keeping refrigerated.
Key Issue for Intensive Larviculture
• Hatchery Mechanization • Marino-Forum 21(MF21) provides major support for the mechanization larviculture
- Micro-formulated feed for fry
- Mechanized closed continuous culture system of rotifer (Harvests of three billion S-type rotifer/ m3/ day)
- Continuous culture system of L-type rotifer (1000 rotifers/mL, 60% harvesting/day

Problems and Prospects
Possible unfavorable biological effects of large numbers ofrelease hatchery-raised seed
• The spread of pathogens,
• Competition for foods and cannibalism,
• Genetic deterioration of wild stock
Prospects
• Improvement of fish quality would enable us to reduce the number of hatchery-raised seed
and• This minimize negative
impacts of release on the environment.
Problems and Prospects (2)
(1) The spread of pathogens Important issue;Development of prevention technology of the spread ofPathogens.
