Managed a fishery FIP

Koichi Ogasawara’s passion for the future of his hometown led to the launch of Hokkaido giant Pacific octopus Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) in April 2019. Over the two years since the project launch, numerous dialogues were held with the region’s fisheries stakeholders to gather data regarding surrounding habitats and bait species, and to determine specific management measures.

Set octopus management measures

In March 2021, a meeting was held with the Tomamae Barrel Flowing Fishers Subcommittee and a consensus was reached on a specific management measure: “reduction of the number of barrels per expedition from the current 15 barrels to 12 barrels when CPUE drops below 60kg.” The Subcommittee members also agreed to maintain the existing measures of keeping the seasonal fishing ban periods and releasing of octopus that weigh less than 2.5kg.
